You list the multiples of both numbers and see which number they share that is on each table
For example,
3,6,9,(12),15,18,21,(24)
4,8,(12),16,20,(24)
12 is the least common multiple of the numbers 3 and 4
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the equation of the line, and let y = 0. Then solve for x.
y = 2/3 x - 6
Let y = 0:
0 = 2/3 x - 6
Add 6 to both sides.
6 = 2/3 x
Multiply both sides by 3/2.
3/2 * 6 = x
x = 9
Answer:
A lily costs $7 and a geranium $4.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we can write two equations. let the number of lilies be l and the number of geraniums be g, then:
5
g
+
4
l
=
48
4
g
+
6
l
=
58
Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 5, the number of lilies in the other gives:
20
g
+
16
l
=
192
20
g
+
30
l
=
290
Subtract the first equation from the second gives:
14
l
=
98 which dividing by 14 gives l
=
7
Substituting the value l
=
7 in the first equation gives:
5
g
+
28
=
48
Subtract 20 from both sides gives:
5
g
=
20 divide by 5 gives g
=
4
So, a lily costs $7 and a geranium costs $4.
