Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand with the distributive rule:
Add 4/3 to both sides:
Subtract 4x from both sides
The answer is 240
Explanation: The Least Common Multiple (LCM) is the smallest number that two or more numbers will divide into evenly. NOTE: to find LCM you first need to know how to find GCD.
First we will find LCM for first two numbers ( 16 and24 ).
Step 1: Find the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor ) of 16 and 24 which is 8.
Step 2: Multiply the numbers 16 and 24 together ( 16 * 24 = 384 )
Step 3: Divide the 384 with 8. (384/8 = 48)
So, the LCM of 16 and 24 is 48.
Now we will find the LCM of above result (48) and third number ( 40 ) using the same procedure.
The result of this part is 240
the formula is a_{1}+(n-1) d
so a_{1} would be the first number in the sequence, which would be 13 in problem 9.
13+(n-1)d
then you put in n, which is 10 (it represents which number in the sequence you're looking for, for example 16 is the second number in the sequence)
13+(10-1)d
then you find the difference between each number, represented by d which in this case is 3
13+(10-1)3
13+(9)3
13+27=
40
