Because these are not like terms, they cannot be combined. The variables are different, that's what makes them not like terms
- 3 - (- 8) - (- 2) = x
Distribute the negatives to the numbers in the parentheses.
- 3 + 8 + 2
- 3 + 10
7
x = 7
2 divides both numbers, so divide both numbers by 2 to get 3 and 7. These are relatively prime, so 2 is the gcd. The lcm is 6*14/2=42.
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
3RD MAN: 1
2ND MAN: 2
1ST MAN: 4
3rd Man = 1/2+1/2 = 1
2nd Man = 1+1 = 2
1st Man = 2*2 = 4
