Answer:

a. 14 and 14= (-1)56+1(44)

b. 3 and 3= (-4)60+3(81)

Step-by-step explanation:

Case 1: GCD is the highest common divisor for both numbers without reminder

a. GCD of 56 and 42 = 14

b GCD of 81 and 60 = 3

Case 2: Express GCD as a Linear combination.

a. GCD = 14 which is also the difference between 56 and 42

Therefore

14= (-1)56+1(44) expresses 14 as a linear combination of 56 and 44.

b. GCD=3, we need to look for a multiple of 60 and 81 that their differences would be 3

Therefore the multiples are:

For 60 = 240 (60×4)

For 81 = 243 (81×3)

3= (-4)60+3(81) expresses 3 as a linear combination of 81 and 60

If the measures of the angles in the following triangle were listed in increasing order, which measure would be second? (2x+24)
Andru [333]

Answer:

x²+1 is the second

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+24=40°

4x+43=75°

x²+1=65°

(2x+24) + (4x +43) + (x²+1)=180

x²+6x+68=180

x1=-14

x2=8

since there's no negative angle, we'll use x=8

The sum of a number and its additive inverse is equal to _____.
prohojiy [21]
The sum of a number and its additive inverse is equal to zero. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "b". If we assume "x" to be a real number, then its additive inverse is "-x". On adding these two, we can see that the result comes to zero.
