If he gives ALL of the cookies away..
3 5/6 = 6/6 + 6/6 + 6/6 + 5/6
6+6+6+5 = 23
Paul has 23 friends. (if he takes 1/6, then he has 22)
hope this helps
The two possible answers are w = 3 and w = -1/5
These answers can be obtained through solving to the absolute value symbols.
<span>−2∣5w−7∣+9=−7 ---> subtract 9 from both sides
</span><span>−2∣5w−7∣= -16 ---> divide both sides by -2
</span>∣5w−7∣= 8
Now, because of the absolute value symbols, set the inside equal to 8 and -8 for the two answers.
5w - 7 = 8
5w = 15
w = 3
AND
5w - 7 = -8
5w = -1
w = -1/5
LCD (1/7, 14/7, 12/13, 5/6)
LCM = (7, 7, 13, 6)
= 2 * 3 * 7 * 13
= 546
1/7 = 78/546
14/7 = 1092/546
12/13 = 504/546
5/6 = 455/546
Calculation:
1/7 + 14/7
= 1 + 14/7
= 15/7
The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators: LCM (7, 7) = 7
Add:
15/7 + 12/13
= 15 . 13/7. 13 + 12 . 7/13 . 7
= 195/91 + 84/91
= 195 + 84/91
= 279/91
The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators: LCM (7, 13) = 91
Add:
279/91 + 5/6
= 279 . 6/91 . 6 + 5 . 91/6. 91
= 1674/546 + 455/546
= 1674 + 455/546
= 2129/546
The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators: LCM (91, 6) = 546
Hence, 546 is the LCM/LCD of (1/7, 14/17, 13/13, 5/6).
Hope that helps!!!!!!
Im pretty sure that the answer is B.
