Answer:

96 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve for this question using Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) method

Step 1

We list multiples of each number until the first common multiple is found. This is referred to as the lowest common multiple.

From the question , we are told:

Plates are sold in packages of 24

Cups in packages of 32

Forks in packages of 48

Multiples of 24:

24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144

Multiples of 32:

32, 64, 96, 128, 160

Multiples of 48:

48, 96, 144, 192

Therefore,

LCM(24, 32, 48) = 96

Hence, the least numbers of packages you should buy in order to have the same number of plates, cups, and forks is 96 packages

I’m not sure how to solve “system of equations”
natka813 [3]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

(2, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + y = -6

4x + 3y = 2

We can begin by setting the first equation equal to y:

-2x + y = -6

Add 2x to both sides:

y = 2x - 6

Plug this equation for y into the second equation:

4x + 3(2x - 6) = 2

Distribute:

4x + 6x - 18 = 2

Combine like terms:

10x = 20

x = 2

Plug the value of 'x' into an equation to solve for 'y':

-2(2) + y = -6

-4 + y = -6

y = -2

Therefore, the solution is (2, -2)
