Answer: B. $\frac{3x}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total number of cards John and Alan has = x

The number of cards John has = $\frac{x}{4}$

Then to find the number of cards Alan has, we need to subtract the number of cards John has from the total number of cards.

Then, the number of cards John has = $x-\frac{x}{4}$

⇒ The number of cards John has = $\frac{4x-x}{4}$

⇒ The number of cards John has = $\frac{3x}{4}$

Number 6 and 7 are incorrect and I can't read 1/2/3

for 6
7/10 would be 70%
for 7
3 2/5 would be 3.40 not 3.25

Solve 32 x 74 = ? + 23 - 72

alekssr [168]

32 x 74 = 2368
23 - 72 = -49
2368 + 49 = 2417
2417 = ?

Find the least common multiple (LCM) of 8y^6+ 144y^5+ 640y^4 and 2y^4 + 40y^3 + 200y^2.

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

LCM = $8y^{4}(y+ 10)^{2}(y + 8)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Making factors of $8y^{6}+ 144y^{5}+ 640y^{4}$

Taking $8y^{4}$ common:

$\Rightarrow 8y^{4} (y^{2}+ 18y+ 80)$

Using factorization method:

$\Rightarrow 8y^{4} (y^{2}+ 10y + 8y + 80)\\\Rightarrow 8y^{4} (y (y+ 10) + 8(y + 10))\\\Rightarrow 8y^{4} (y+ 10)(y + 8))\\\Rightarrow \underline{2y^{2}} \times 4y^{2} \underline{(y+ 10)}(y + 8)) ..... (1)$

Now, Making factors of $2y^{4} + 40y^{3} + 200y^{2}$

Taking $2y^{2}$ common:

$\Rightarrow 2y^{2} (y^{2}+ 20y+ 100)$

Using factorization method:

$\Rightarrow 2y^{2} (y^{2}+ 10y+ 10y+ 100)\\\Rightarrow 2y^{2} (y (y+ 10) + 10(y + 10))\\\Rightarrow \underline {2y^{2} (y+ 10)}(y + 10) ............ (2)$

The underlined parts show the Highest Common Factor(HCF).

i.e. HCF is $2y^{2} (y+ 10)$ .

We know the relation between LCM, HCF of the two numbers 'p' , 'q' and the numbers themselves as:

$HCF \times LCM = p \times q$

Using equations (1) and (2): $\Rightarrow 2y^{2} (y+ 10) \times LCM = 2y^{2} \times 4y^{2}(y+ 10)(y + 8) \times 2y^{2} (y+ 10)(y + 10)\\\Rightarrow LCM = 2y^{2} \times 4y^{2}(y+ 10)(y + 8) \times (y + 10)\\\Rightarrow LCM = 8y^{4}(y+ 10)^{2}(y + 8)$

Hence, LCM = $8y^{4}(y+ 10)^{2}(y + 8)$
