How can you tell when the LCM of two numbers will equal one of the numbers or equal the product of the numbers

1 answer:

7 0

When one number will divide exactly into the other one then the other one will be the LCM. For example the LCM of 4 and 8 = 8 .

When they do not divide as above then the product of the numbers may be the LCM. For example the LCM of 3 and 4 = 3*4 = 12.

The product is not always the LCM. It might be a lower number . For example the LCM of 4 and 6 is not 24 but 12. ( 24 / 2).

2. Solve the following system of equations using substitution.

SOVA2 [1]

First, make sure you convert both equations into standard form. Your two equations would be 2x+2y=38 and -x+y=3. Then multiply the bottom by 2. So your new equations would be 2x+2y=38 and -2x+2y=6. The x would cancel out and you would continue solving for y. y would equal 11 and then you would plug it back into an original equation. When you plug and solve for x, you would get x=8. So your answer would be (8,11)
