The greatest possible number of club members is 7

Solution:

Given that, local readers’ club has a set of 49 hardback books and a set of 21 paperbacks

Each set can be divided equally among the club members

To find the greatest possible number of club members, we have to find the greatest common factor of 49 and 21

The greatest number that is a factor of two (or more) other numbers.

When we find all the factors of two or more numbers, and some factors are the same ("common"), then the largest of those common factors is the Greatest Common Factor.

Greatest common factor of 49 and 21:

The factors of 21 are: 1, 3, 7, 21

The factors of 49 are: 1, 7, 49

Then the greatest common factor is 7

Thus, the greatest possible number of club members is 7

((7,-1) and (21,-5) what is the equation in slope intercept form?

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

y=-2/7x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-5-(-1))/(21-7)

m=(-5+1)/14

m=-4/14

simplify

m=-2/7

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-1)=-2/7(x-7)

y+1=-2/7(x-7)

y=-2/7x+2-1

y=-2/7x+1

If A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), C(x3, y3), and D(x4, y4) form two line segments, and , which of these conditions needs to be met to pro

Gnoma [55]

You are asking for the condition needed for the
two segments to be perpendicular to each other. 

If the slope of one segment is m, then the slope of a perpendicular segment would be -1/m 

this means that m2 = -1/m and so m2 x m = -1 

If you look carefully at your choices, the 3rd answer involves the two slope and has the -1. It's 
the correct answer.

Translate each phrase to an algebraic expression. (a) the product of 7 and d, decreased by 16 (b) the product of 7 and d decreas

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Question A:

Step 1. The product of 7 and d is = 7d.

Step 2. Then the next part is separated by a comma.

Step 3. This leads to the influence of the idea that 7d is subtracted by 16.

Step 4. This concludes that the answer is 7d - 16.

Question B:

Step 1: The product of 7 concludes that 7 is alone.

Step 2: The separation of and shows that the part after and is together.

Step 3: If it is together, we can conclude it goes in parentheses.

Step 4: If it is in parentheses, it means the number 7 is being distributed.

Step 5: This concludes the answer is 7(d - 16).

Hope this helped,
