We can use the distributive property for this:
4 (p+2) = 28
4p + 8 = 28.
4p = 28 - 8.
4p = 24.
Divide by 4 on both sides:
p = 6
With what? Don’t see anything
One way to find the least common multiple of two numbers is to first list the prime factors of each number.
8 = 2 x 2 x 2
Then multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number. If the same factor occurs more than once in both numbers, you multiply the factor the greatest number of times it occurs.
2: three occurrences
3: one occurrence
So, our LCM should be
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24.
So, Marco can buy, at the very least, 24 beads of each color to have equal colors of beads.
Answer:
Sydney is 44 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Make a system of equations
</u>
d = s - 15
<em>d + s = 73
</em>
<u>Step 2: Plug in s - 15 for d in the second equation and solve
</u>
s - 15 + s = 73
2s - 15 = 73 + 15
2s / 2= 88 / 2
<em>s = 44
</em>
Answer: Sydney is 44 years old
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
If T is the midpoint, that means segments ST and TU are congruent.
Step 1: Set up expression
8x + 11 = 12x - 1
Step 2: Solve
11 = 4x - 1
12 = 4x
x = 3
