Answer:
the reciprocal of 2/7 is 7/2. you just switch the numbers
Answer:
5ab
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the greatest common factor (GCF), you will need to find the largest value that both of these monomials can be divided by. There are three different parts to these monomials: the number value, variable a, and variable b.
Find the largest number of each element that can be divided by both.
Numbers: the GCF of 15 and 35 is 5 (15/5 = 3, 35/5 = 7, 3 and 7 are prime numbers and therefore, cannot be divided further)
Variable a: the GCF of a² and a is a
Variable b: the GCF of b and b² is b
Therefore, the GCF is 5ab.
Remark
There is no short way to do this problem and no obvious way to get the answer other that to solve each part.
Solve
A
Multiply by 2
x + 1.6 = 2(x + 0.1) Remove the brackets
x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.1*2
x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.2 Subtract x from both sides
1.6 = x + 0.2 Subtract 0.2 from both sides
1.6 - 0.2 = x
1.4 = x
Circle A
B
Subtract 2x from both sides.
3x - 2x = 1.4
Circle B
C
Remove the brackets.
4x + 6 = 2x - 6 Add 6 to both sides
4x + 12 = 2x Subtract 4x from both sides.
12 = -2x Divide by - 2
12/-2 = x
x = - 6 Don't circle C
D
I'm going to be very scant in my solution of this. You can fill in the steps.
3x = 4.2
x = 4.2/3
x = 1.4
Circle D
D is the answer. Hope this helps!
