Answer:
- 1) 120 seconds
- 2) 180 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>First light</u>
Shines 3 seconds first time plus after 6 seconds, the pattern is:
Off 6 seconds first time plus after 6 seconds, the pattern is:
<u>Second light</u>
Shines 4 seconds first time plus after 8 seconds, the pattern is:
Off 8 seconds first time plus after 8 seconds, the pattern is:
<u>Third light</u>
Shines 5 seconds first time plus after 10 seconds, the pattern is:
Off 10 seconds first time plus after 10 seconds, the pattern is:
1) <u>All lights will be off after:</u>
- LCM(6x, 8x, 10x) = 2*3*4*5x
- x = 1 ⇒ 120*1 = 120 seconds, next time
2) <u>All lights will come on after:</u>
- LCM(3 + 6x, 4 + 8x, 5 + 10x) = LCM(3(1+2x), 4(1+2x), 5(1 + 2x)) = 60(1 + 2x)
- x = 1 ⇒ 60(1 + 2) = 180 seconds, first time
Answer:
It can't be simplified anymore
Step-by-step explanation:
2 times 17 = 24
3 times 19 = 57
Answer:
step 2
Step-by-step explanation:
he was not supposed to multiply by x
he was supposed to combine like terms
add -2x and 4x and add 6 and 5
Answer:
Leanne is correct. It is important that g(x) is subtracted from f(x).
Shiloh is incorrect. She subtracted f(x) from g(x), and subtraction isn't commutative.
*Just took the test, got the answer correct!! Hope this helps!
