Number of books each of them have:

Jaime: x
Grant: x - 6
Ky: 3 (x - 6)

There are 176 books in total, so we can write it down as:

176 = x + x - 6 + 3 (x - 6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 * x + 3 * (-6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 2x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 5x - 24                        / + 24 (both sides)
5x = 200                              / ÷ 5 (both sides)
x = 40

Doublecheck:

Jamie: 40
Grant: 40 - 6 = 34
Ky: 3 (40 - 6) = 3 * 34 = 102

102 + 34 + 40 = 176, so it's correct :)

Felipe, Pedro y Miguel son fanáticos del cine. Felipe asiste cada 3 días; Pedro cada 6 días y Miguel cada 5 días. Los tres van j
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Opción C, 30 días.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sabemos que:

Felipe asiste al cine cada 3 días

Miguel asiste cada 5 días.

Pedro asiste cada 6 días.

Los tres van juntos un día,  ¿dentro de cuántos días irán otra vez juntos?

Los 3 volverán a ir juntos luego de N días, tal que N es el menor múltiplo común de 3, 5 y 6.

Como 6 es múltiplo de 3, podemos ignorar al 3, y solo considerar al menor múltiplo en común de 5 y 6.

Además, como podemos reescribir estos números como un producto de números primos, así obtenemos:

6 = 2*3

5 = 5*1

Estos números no comparten factores entre ellos, por lo que el menor múltiplo entre 5 y 6 es simplemente 5*6 = 30

Entonces podemos concluir que N = 30

Felipe, Pedro y Miguel irán juntos al cine nuevamente dentro de 30 días.

La opción correcta es C.
