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).

Inscribed angles<br> Please help!!!!!!!! With explanation!!!!!
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

a = 72° b = 88°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know in the cyclic quadrilateral opposite angles are supplementary so

a + 108° = 180° { being opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral }

a = 180° - 108°

a = 72°

b + 92° = 180° { being opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral }

b = 180° - 92°

b = 88°

the lenght of the longer leg of a right triangle is 9 ft longer than the lenght of the shorter leg x. The hypotenuse is 9 ft sho
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:  5 23  8 03

the lenght of the longer leg of a right triangle is 9 ft longer than the lenght of the shorter leg x. The hypotenuse is 9 ft shorter than twice the lenght of the shorter leg.

shorter leg    = x

longer leg     = x + 9

hypotenuse  =  2x - 9

Pythagorean theorem  =    a² + b²  = c²

             shorter-leg² + longer-leg² = hypotenuse²

                         x²  +  (x+9)²  = (2x - 9)²                  solve for x

                  x² +  (x+9) (x+9)  =  (2x - 9)(2x - 9)

                 x² +  (x²+18x+81)  =  (4x² - 36x + 81)

                       (2x²+18x+81)  =  (4x² - 36x + 81)

                                          0 =   2x² -54x

                                          0 =  x(2x - 54)  

                           0 = x      and         0 = 2x -54  

                                                       54 = 2x

                                                      27 =  x

shorter leg    = 27        

longer leg     = 36

hypotenuse  =  45

divided all the values by 9 and you get a 3, 4, 5  right triangle, so the answer checks correct
