She is correct.
120-36=84=2^2*3*7
The key is to notice that if the two numbers are a and b, then gcf(a,b) | a-b ---> this means that the greatest common factor of a and b divides their difference. Also,    a-b> gcf(a,b)
So, the only case to consider is if gcf(a,b)=2 and a-b=42.
This is clearly possible to find 2 such numbers a,b (one example would be 62 and 20).

when Elena 's car moves forward such that each tire make one full rotation ,the car has traveled 72 inches .how many full rotati
Marat540 [252]
It will take 5 full rotations for Elena's car to travel ten yards

explanation: 10 yards=30 feet, and there are 12 inches in one foot. multiply 30 by 12. once you do that, you get 360. next, divide 360 by the 72 inches in each full rotation. 360/72=5. so the answer is 5 full rotations

19. If the pg", and "terms of an A.P. are a,b, and c respectively. prove that: p(b-c) + (ca) + rſa-b) = 0 50 Approved by Curricu
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:a = m + (p-1)*d

b = m + (q-1)*d

c = m + (r-1)*d

p(b-c) = p*(q-r)*d

q(c-a) = q*(r-p)*d

r(a-b) = r*(p-q)*d

p(b-c)+q(c-a)+r(a-b)

= p*(q-r)*d + q*(r-p)*d +r*(p-q)*d

= (pq-pr+qr-pq+rp-qr)*d

= 0*d = 0

So i prove p(b-c)+q(c-a)+r(a-b)=0 hope this is helpfull

Homer is giving some cookies to each of
Stells [14]

Answer:

7 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 brothers

First , Second, Third

Let the total number cookies be represented by A

1 cookie = 1

Working backwards, we start from the third brother

If we work backwards

It means he gave everything away

We start from the youngest

He was given 1/2 of what was left and 1/2 a cookie

This means,

1/2 + 1/2 = 1

The second brother

He got half of what is left and 1/2 a cookies

Half of what is left from brother

= What the youngest brother got + 1/2 + 1/2 a cookie

= 1 + 1/2 + 1/2

= 1.5 + 1/2

= 2 cookies

For the first brother

He got 1/2 of the cookies + 1/2 cookie

= 1.5 × 2 + 1/2 + 1/2 cookies

= 3 1/2 + 1/2

= 4 cookies

The first brother got 4 cookies

The second brother got 2 cookies

The third broth got 1 cookies

The top of a table is in the shape of a trapezoid. It has a height 1.5 feet and the two parallel bases measure 3 feet and 5 feet
Kobotan [32]

The area of a trapezoid if found using the formula

A = (base1 + base2)/2 x height

Area = (3+5)/2 x 1.5

Area = 8/2 x 1.5

Area = 4 x 1.5

Area = 6 square feet.
