Answer:

120 minutes

Yes my answer makes sense

Step-by-step explanation:

This question has to do with Lowest Common Multiples

1) After how many minutes will both lights change at the same time again?

Step 1

We would find and list multiples of each number until the first common multiple is found.

Multiples of 30:

30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180

Multiples of 40:

40, 80, 120, 160, 200

Step 2

The first common multiple of 30 aand 40 is the lowest common multiple.

Therefore,

LCM(30, 40) = 120

Therefore, both lights will change at the same time after 120 minutes.

2) Why does your answer make sense?

Lowest common multiple is a methodology used in mathematics to show the relationship between two numbers based on their multiples.

My answer makes sense because the only way both traffic light would come up at the same time can only be determined using the methodology of Lowest Common Multiple.

Hence, both lights will change at the same time after 120 minutes.

Show Graph with the solution for 2x+3>-9
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

I can't graph on this but x > -6

To graph you should draw a vertical (up and down) dotted line, and shade the graph to the right of the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3>-9    Subtract 3 from both sides of the inequality.

2x> -12      Divide both sides by 2

x> -6

If line segment BH = 3, line segment BF = 10, line segment GH= 2, find HD 15 11 10.5 ?
pav-90 [236]

HD = 10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given BH = 3, GH = 2, BF = 10

Step 1: To find HF:

HF = BF – BH

HF = 10 – 3

HF = 7

Step 2: To find HD:

We know that if two chords intersects inside a circle, the product of the lengths of the segments of one chord equals the product of the lengths of the segments of the other chord.

⇒ GH × HD = BH × HF

⇒ 2 × HD = 3 × 7

⇒ HD = 10.5

Hence, the value of HD = 10.5.

Given the sequence 12, 9, 6, 3,........ where x = 0, 1, 2......,
Nitella [24]

Answer:

f(x) = -3x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The chart could be represented like this:

x             y

0            12

1             9

2            6

3            3

Suppose that f(x) = y

And substitute x values.

y = -3x + 12

"x = 0"

y = -3(0) + 12

y = 0 + 12

y = 12

"x = 3"

y = -3(3) + 12

y = -9 + 12

y = 3

From the results, it corresponds to the function.
