Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m = least prime number = 2

n = least positive integer multiple of 12 = 12

n - m = 12 - 2 = 10

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2 is the least prime number because it is not a product of any two smaller natural numbers. m=2

12 is the least positive integer multiple of 12. n=12

12-2=10

The population of mastertown was 23,000 in 2012. assume that mastertowns population increases at a rate of 2% per year. write an

Svetlanka [38]

Alright, let's interpret it, first.

The question is asking us to first find two percent of 23,000, then right an equation.

Alright, first, let's find two percent of 23,000. To find that we must do 0.02*23,000

I got 460

So we know that Mastertown's population is increasing by 460 people per year. All we have to do now is plug that into the equation.

Population (y)= 460* amount of years (x)

So our final equation is y = 460x

Hope this helped! Ask any questions about it!

An elevator can hold a maximum of 1500 pounds. An average child weighs 75 pounds and the average adult weighs 150 pounds. The el

CaHeK987 [17]

Let's take this problem step-by-step:

Let's first set up some variables:

c: # of children
a: # of adults

Let's examine the information given:

Elevator can hold a maximum of 1500 pounds

⇒ average child is 75 pounds

⇒ average adult is 150 pounds

⇒ therefore: $75c + 150a\leq 1500$

Elevator can fit no more than 14 people

⇒ therefore: $c + a \leq 14$

Let's graph the equations:

$75c+150a\leq 1500\\c+a\leq 14$

⇒ look at the image attached

The point at which the two graphs intersect:

⇒ is the solution that represents the amount of children and adults and

their combine weight

With the horizontal axis being the # of children and vertical axis being the # of adults:

⇒ the solution is 8 children and 6 adults

Answer: 8 children and 6 adults

Hope that helped!

HELP! i’ll mark you as brainliest

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

m<F = 79 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given information;

m<E = 22, the triangle EDF (the one that is given in the picture) is isosceles (meaning that the sides are congruent).

In an isosceles triangle, (a triangle where the sides are congruent) the base angles (the angles opposite to the two congruent sides) are also congruent. One should also know, that in an isosceles triangle, like in any triangle, the sum of the measures of the angles equals 180 degrees.

Using this we can say that

m<D = m<F

To keep it simple while solving the problem, let's say that they have a value of x degrees.

So,

m<E + m<D + m<F =180

Subsitute

22 + x + x = 180

Simplify and inverse operations

22 + x + x = 180

-22 -22

2x = 158

/2 /2

x = 79

So the measure of <D and <F is 79 degrees.
