Let x represent the first number, then x-7 represents the second number

Assume the numbers are whole numbers (no negative numbers), then the smallest value that x could be is 8. Thus, the first number is 8 and the second number is 1. The LCM is 8.

Let's increase x by one number so that x=9, then the second number is 2. The LCM is 18.

Let's increase x again by one number so x=10, then the second number is 3. The LCM is 30.

You could continue this to discover that the LCM will be x(x-7) between x=8 and x=13.

So what happens at x=14? First digit is 14 and the second digit is 7. The LCM is 14.

This will occur for all x-values that are multiples of 7.

Answer: when x is a multiple of 7, the LCM is x. when x is not a multiple of 7, the LCM is x(x-7).

Find the perimeter of the figure​
irinina [24]

Answer:

114 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We split the figure into two rectangles. The long triangles perimeter is equal to 30 + 30 + 9 + 9 = 78. Then, the top triangle is equal to 9 + 9 + 9 + 9, which is equal to 36. Then to find the perimeter of the entire figure, we add these two shapes together, 78 + 36, which gets us to our final answer, 114 ft.

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Standard Description: Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions. (Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.)
