The greatest common factor of 18 and 54 is 18
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
There are 16 girls and 14 boys
The favorable chances that a boy name comes up are 14
Probability is given by the ratio of favorable chances to the total chances
So, the probability that a boy's name will be pulled is
The y-intercept is negative 3/5.
The x-intercept is negative 1/2
this is because i plugged in 0 for x, and got the y-intercept and plugged in 0 for y and got the x-intercept
Honestly, this one works out to be a quadratic (which I don't really feel like going into detail) . . . so instead, since this one is fairly simple to think about, I'll simply try "trial and error" . . .
Possible combinations:
1 × 36 = 36
2 × 18 = 36
3 × 12 = 36
4 × 9 = 36
6 × 6 = 36
Obviously, multiply 4 × 2 = 8 . . . and 9 is one more than 8, which is 2 times the first number, 4 . . . so that's your answer . . .
the numbers are 4 and 9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
M = 2J
M = H + 7
M + J + H = 53
Then combine first two equations and solve in terms of J:
2J = H + 7 --> H = 2J - 7
Substitute for H & M in last equation:
2J + J + 2J - 7 = 53
5J - 7 = 53
5J = 60
J = 12
Then plug J into other equations:
M = 24
J =12
H = 17
