a. The first variable is x and the second variable is y.
b. The equations are 
and 
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
The first step is to define the variables. The variables can be any two symbols, letters, characters, etc.
Here let the first variable be x and the let the second variable be y.
So the variables are defined as x and y.
Step 2:
The sum of the given variables is 12.
The first variable + the second variable = 12,
The difference between the two variables is 4.
The first variable - the second variable = 4.
Step 3:
If we add both the equations we get, 
and 
x = 8 and y = 4.
Answer:
27
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the middle number be x.
(x - 1)(x)(x + 1) = 21,924
You can solve that equation, or you can use logic.
The 3 numbers are going to be close to the cubic root of 21,924.
cubic root of 21,924 = 27.988 or approx 28.
Try 27, 28, 29
27 * 28 * 29 = 21,924
Answer: 27
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
The least common multiple of {6,8,12} is 24. This can be intuitively figured by noting that any multiple of 12 is a multiple of 6 and that 12 is 1.5x larger than 8. That means we only have so multiple 12 by 2 and 8 by 3 for them to be equal. The GCF of {20,42,72} is 2 as the prime factorization of 20 is 2x2x5 and 42 is 2x3x7. That means even without having to check 72 (which is clearly even so 2 is a factor), we know that 2 is the greatest common factor that they could share. So X/Y = 24/2 = 12
Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
72 ÷ 9 = 8
The fish are being taken out, so negative.
