Let the number be N

then

N=12a+5 = 2*2*3*a+5

N=18b+5=2*3*3*b+5

N=24c+5=2*2*2*3*c+5

so 

N-5=2*2*3*a

N-5=2*3*3*b

N-5=2*2*2*3*c

N-5 must be at least a multiple of 2*2*2 and 3*3. So 8*9=72 is a factor of N-5

In fact, it is the smallest. so the smallest N is 72+5=77

N-5 may have also other factors whose total multiplication is represented by the integer k:

N-5=72k

N=72k+5


Answer: The smallest number is 72
               The number, in general, is 72k+5, where k is a positive integer.

27x + 24y= 4.5<br><br> 1.5x + y =0.225
Goryan [66]

Answer:

x = 0.1, y = 0.075

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

27x + 24y = 4.5 → (1)

1.5x + y = 0.225 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 24 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term

- 36x - 24y = - 5.4 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

- 9x = - 0.9 ( divide both sides by - 9 )

x = 0.1

Substitute x = 0.1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (2)

1.5(0.1) + y = 0.225

0.15 + y = 0.225 ( subtract 0.15 from both sides )

y = 0.075

A cube has a side length of x feet. Which expression represents the surface area of the cube?
alexdok [17]
The answer is D)6x2 square units.

A surface area of a cube is a sum of its sides' areas. A side of the cube is a square, and there are total 6 sides of the cube. Also, an area of the side of the cube is the area of the square, which can be expressed as a², where a is the length of the side. Therefore, the surface area (SA) of the cube is:
SA = 6*a² = 6a²

If side length is x, that means that a = x units.
After replacing it in the formula, you will have:
SA = 6a² = 6x² square units
