Mel should use the least  common multiple to solve the problem

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Mel has to put the greatest number of bolts and nuts in each box so each box has the same number of bolts and the same number of nuts.  

We have to find that should Mel use the greatest common factor or the least common multiple to solve the problem?

He should use least common multiple.

Let us see an example, suppose 12 bolts and nuts are to be fit in 6 boxes.

Then, if we took H.C.F of 12 and 6, it is 6, which means 6 bolts and nuts in each box, but, after filling 2 boxes with 6 bolts and nuts, there will be nothing left, which is wrong as remaining boxes are empty.

So the remaining method to choose is L.C.M.

Hence, he should use L.C.M method.

I’m not sure about this please help

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate x/4 + 6 (x - 12) where x = 12:

x/4 + 6 (x - 12) = 12/4 + 6 (12 - 12)

Hint: | Reduce 12/4 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of 12 and 4.

The gcd of 12 and 4 is 4, so 12/4 = (4×3)/(4×1) = 4/4×3 = 3:

3 + 6 (12 - 12)

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

12 - 12 = 0:

6×0 + 3

Hint: | Any number times zero is zero.

0×6 = 0:

0 + 3

Hint: | Simplify the expression.

Write 3 + 0 as 3:

ddd [48]

Answer:

31°

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 10 = 5x - 4 ... - 3x and +4 both side

14 = 2x

x = 7

angle 1 and angle 2: 5 x 7 - 4 = 31°

check: 3 x 7 + 10 = 31°

The graph of this system of equations is used to solve 4x2-3+6=2x4-9x3+2x What represents the solution set?
Vilka [71]

ANSWER

x coordinates of the intersection points

EXPLANATION

The given system of equations is:

y = 4 {x}^{2}  - 3x + 6

y = 2 {x}^{4}  - 9 {x}^{3}  + 2x

We want to use the graph of these functions to solve

4 {x}^{2}  - 3x + 6 =  2 {x}^{4}  - 9 {x}^{3}  + 2x

The point of the intersection of the graph gives the solution to the simultaneous equation above.

Hence the x-coordinates of the intersection points gives the solution set of

4 {x}^{2}  - 3x + 6 =  2 {x}^{4}  - 9 {x}^{3}  + 2x

The last choice is correct.
