Let's represent the two numbers by x and y. Then xy=60. The smaller number here is x=y-7.
Then (y-7)y=60, or y^2 - 7y - 60 = 0. Use the quadratic formula to (1) determine whether y has real values and (2) to determine those values if they are real:
discriminant = b^2 - 4ac; here the discriminant is (-7)^2 - 4(1)(-60) = 191. Because the discriminant is positive, this equation has two real, unequal roots, which are
-(-7) + sqrt(191)
y = -------------------------
-2(1)
and
-(-7) - sqrt(191)
y = ------------------------- = 3.41 (approximately)
-2(1)
Unfortunately, this doesn't make sense, since the LCM of two numbers is generally an integer.
Try thinking this way: If the LCM is 60, then xy = 60. What would happen if x=5 and y=12? Is xy = 60? Yes. Is 5 seven less than 12? Yes.
24 : 12.5/100 = 24 * 100/12.5 = 192;
Answer:
Consider the reflection of the parallelogram PQRS across the line of reflection wy if RR = 14 Then RZ= If SX=5 then = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
11- 2x2x2 since its 2 to the power of 3 which will give you 8 and than you basically just subtract 11- 8=3
