18x+6y=144 6x+10y=144

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sergeeva-Olga [200]3 years ago
7 0

1. Copy Equations:

18x + 6y = 144

6x + 10y = 144

2. Multiply one of the equations in a way that gets either the x or the y to cancel each other out when added together:

18x + 6y= 144 --> 18x + 6y = 144

-3(6x + 10y= 144) --> -18x -30y = -432

3. Add equations together:

18x + 6y= 144

-18x -30y= -432 --> -24y = -288

4. Solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by -24:

-24y÷-24 = -288÷-24 --> y= 12

5. Plug the y back into one of the original equations:

6x + 10(12)= 144

6. Solve for x:

6x + 10(12)= 144 --> 6x + 120= 144

6x + 120= 144

-120 -120 --> 6x = 24

6x÷6 = 24÷6 --> x= 4

7. Collect answers:

x= 4

y= 12

8. (Optional) plug answers back into one of the original equations the check answer.

Number has more than two factors
VMariaS [17]
I'm going to assume that you are asking how a number can have two factors.
So, a factor is an integer (non-fractional/decimal number) you multiply by another integer to get the actual number.

Well, let's look at the number 4. The number four has the following factors:
1, 2, 4
In a 'rainbow' style, you match the two outer numbers, then the two next inner numbers, and so on.
Because the number '2' is the one in the center and there is no other number to multiply it by, it must multiply by itself to reach the number 4.
Well, you must have two numbers to actually multiply together, so every number has two factors: 1, and itself (except for 0). 
I hope this helps, and good luck :)
