Answer:
11 people will get both the prizes.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question we need to find common integral multiples of 5 and 7 under 400. As you can see in the figure 35th person is the first one to get both ipod and psp. The LCM (least common multiple) of 5 and 7 which is 35 (!!! <em>I hope you know how to LCM of two integers </em>).
Therefore the integral multiples of 35 will be same as the common multiples of 5 and 7. So, figuring out the number of integral multiples of 35 under 400 will give the answer.
To do that divide the number 400 with 35. On performing the division the quotient will be 11 and the remainder will be 15.
Therefore 11 persons out of 400 will get both the prizes.
Similarly if you want to find the number of person getting ipod then divide 400 with 5. The quotient will be 80. ∴ 80 people will get ipod.
And for psp, divide 400 with 7. The quotient will be 57. ∴ 57 people will get psp.
In these divisions, consider just the quotient, here remainder is of no use.
X-5y=-21
x=-21+5y
-6(-21+5y)+4y=10
126+-30y+4y=10
126+-26y=10
-26y=-116
y=4.4615
x=1.3076
Answer: Negative
If the same negative number is multiplied to each side of a true inequality, then the inequality sign flips to make the new inequality true as well
Example:
Take 1 < 5 and multiply both sides by -2 and we get -2 > -10. The "less than" sign flips to "greater than" since -2 < -10 is false. The value of -10 is further to the left of -2 so -10 is smaller in value. The negative basically takes the complete opposite which is why the flip must happen.
This sign flip rule does not happen if you multiply both sides by a positive number.
Let x= cucumber plants
5x= tomato plants
6x+7= pepper plants
peppers = 19
therefore
6x+7=19
subtract 7 from both sides
6x= 12
divide both sides by 6
x=2
replace the x with 2
2= cucumber plants
10= tomato plants
hope this helps
