The least common multiple of a number n and 6 is 42 what are all of the possible whole number values for n

Mathematics

iren [92.7K]3 years ago
5 0
I did it with "tries & mistakes" method:

n is not 1, because LCM of 1 and 6 is 6
n is not 2, because LCM of 2 and 6 is 6
n is not 3, because LCM of 3 and 6 is 6
n is not 4, because LCM of 4 and 6 is 12
n is not 5, because LCM of 5 and 6 is 30
n is not 6, because LCM of 6 and 6 is 6
n might be <u>7</u>, because LCM of 7 and 6 is what we're looking for - 42.
n might be also <u>14</u> or <u>21</u> - so these are all multiplies of 7 which are less or equal to half of 42.

I hope it helps :)

Find the sum of the geometric series given the following information
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

<u>-21844</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Finding n</u>

  • aₙ = arⁿ⁻¹
  • -16384 = -4(4)ⁿ⁻¹
  • 4ⁿ⁻¹ = 4096
  • 4ⁿ⁻¹ = 64²
  • 4ⁿ⁻¹ = (8²)²
  • 4ⁿ⁻¹ = (4³)²
  • n - 1 = 6
  • n = 7

<u>Finding The Sum</u>

  • S₇ = -4(4⁷ - 1) / 4 - 1
  • S₇ = -4 (16383) / 3
  • S₇ = -65536/3
  • S₇ = <u>-21844</u>

The O'Brien's are building a rectangular deck around the outside of their circular pool.
Lera25 [3.4K]

A:

Width of the deck = 2x+3 units

Length of the deck = 5x+6 units

So area of rectangular deck = Length * width

= (5x+6)(2x+3)

Area = 10x^{2}+15x+12x+18

Area= 10x^{2}+27x+18 units square

As mentioned in part B, the area of the pool is 3x^{2}+7x+6 so the combined area of the deck and pool is

Area = area of rectangular deck + area of pool

= 13x^{2}+34x+24 unit square


B:

The area of only the deck is 10x^{2}+27x+18 unit square

Write a system of equations (3 points) for the problem below and then solve it The candy shack has 20 lb. Of mixed white and dar
icang [17]

Answer: the mixture contained 15 pounds of white chocolate and 5 pounds of dark chocolate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of white chocolate in the candy shack mixture.

Let y represent the number of pounds of dark chocolate in the candy shack mixture.

The candy shack has 20 lb of mixed white and dark chocolate. This means that

x + y = 20

The 20lb mixture is worth $7.50 per pound. This means that the total cost of the mixture is

20 × 7.50 = $150

White chocolate alone sells for $8.00 per pound and dark chocolate sells for 6.00 per pound. This means that

8x + 6y = 150 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 20 - y into equation 1, it becomes

8(20 - y) + 6y = 150

160 - 8y + 6y = 150

- 8y + 6y = 150 - 160

- 2y = - 10

y = - 10/ - 2

y = 5

x = 20 - y = 20 - 5

x = 15
