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).

The formula for the volume of a sphere is. What is the formula solved for r?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

r = \sqrt[3]{\dfrac{3V}{4 \pi}}

Step-by-step explanation:

V = \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3

\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = V

\pi r^3 = \dfrac{3V}{4}

r^3 = \dfrac{3V}{4 \pi}

r = \sqrt[3]{\dfrac{3V}{4 \pi}}

To solve this problem use the law of exponents.

-Use the division rule of exponents.

If the base if the same in the numerator and denominator, it stays the same and the exponents are subtracted.

                            10¹ ⁻ ³/⁴ = 10¹/⁴   This is the result
