Answer:
x = 3
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
When 2 triangles are congruent, they will have exact same 3 sides length and exact same 3 angles measure.
So we can say:
-2x + 6y = 6
and
-7x + 8y = -5
Let's multiply first equation by 7 and 2nd equation by -2, to get:
7 [-2x + 6y = 6] = -14x +42y = 42
and
-2 [-7x + 8y = -5] = 14x - 16y = 10
Now adding these 2 new equations and solving for y:
-14x +42y = 42
14x - 16y = 10
----------------------
26y = 52
y = 52/26
y = 2
Now we put y = 2 into 1st equation (or any other) and solve for x:
-2x + 6y = 6
-2x + 6(2) = 6
-2x + 12 = 6
6 = 2x
x = 6/2
x = 3
Answer:
x + y = 11
10x + 5y = 80
Step-by-step explanation:
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.
