The lowest common denominator is lcm(5, 3), which is 15.
The sum of 2/5 + 5/3 + 9/3 is 6/15 + 25/15 + 45/15, which is 76/15 or
.
hi,
first let's count the marbles : 1+3+2 = 6
so picking a red is 1/6
a green is : 3/6
a bleu is : 2/6
Your answer would be -35.
Factor 4
4=1 times 4
2 times 2
they don't add to 2
set up equation
x+y=2
xy=4
first equation, subtract x from both sides
y=2-x
subsitute for y
x(2-x)=4
distribute
2x-x^2=4
add x^2
2x=x^2+4
subtract 2x
0=x^2-2x+4
use quadratic formula which is
if you have ax^2+bx+c=0 then
x=

so
1x^2-2x+4=0
a=1
b=-2
c=4
x=

x=

x=

we have

and that doesn't give a real solution
therefor there are no real solutions
but if you want to solve fully
x=

i=

x=

x=

x=

or x=

(those are the 2 numbers)
