Well to do this, we need to know the least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 8. Lets list the factors out.
6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36
8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48
As we can see, the least common multiple of 6 and 8 is 24.
Now we know that there are 8 plates per package and 8 goes into 24 3 times, so naturally Shaniya needs 3 packages of plates
Hope this helped!!! :)
Step 1: Find the slope:

This gives you
, but we need to find b.
To find b, substitute in one (x,y) pair and it doesn't matter which one. I'll go with (4,-2):
![\begin{aligned}-2&=-\dfrac{3}{2}(4)+b\\[0.5em]-2&=-6+b\\[0.5em]4&=b\end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D-2%26%3D-%5Cdfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%284%29%2Bb%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D-2%26%3D-6%2Bb%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D4%26%3Db%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
Now take that b-value and plug in into the slope-intercept form:

It's always a good idea to toss in the other x-value from the other point, to make sure it checks out.
Answer:
Erm i dont see anything here.
Step-by-step explanation:
3⁹ is the same as doing:
3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3
What I would do it is narrow it down piece by piece.
3 * 3 * 3 = 27. Do that 3 times, now you are left with:
27 * 27 * 27
27 * 27 or 27² = 729.
That leaves you with:
729 * 27
You can multiply by hand or use a calculator to get your answer of 19683.
To check your answer, plug 3⁹ into a calculator. Your answer should match this.
If you rounded off 129 to the nearest ten the answer would be 130
