Answer:
p = 2 ; q = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given tbe equation :
3p + 2q = 14 - - - (1)
10p + 6q = 44 - - -(2)
What is p and what is q
This is a simultaneous equation ; using elimination method :
Multiply (1) by 6 and (2) by 2
18p + 12q = 84 - - - - (3)
20p + 12q = 88 - - - (4)
Subtract (3) and (4)
-2p = - 4
p = 4/2
p = 2
Put p = 2 in (1)
3p + 2q = 14
3(2) + 2q = 14
6 + 2q = 14
2q = 14 - 6
2q = 8
q = 8/2
q = 4
p = 2 ; q = 4
Answer: 3x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x
3 times the number is 3x
6 less than 3x is 3x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x² - 8x + 4 =
3x² - 6x -2x + 4 =
3x(x-2) -2(x-2) =
(3x -2)(x-2)
No, by definition a prime number is one where the only factors are 1 and itself. If some prime number is a multiple of another number, then that other number is a factor of the prime number. But that would make it composite (non-prime)
For example, the number 11 is prime. The only factors are 1 and itself. If we made the claim that 11 is a multiple of 2, then 2 would be a factor of 11 making 11 non-prime (as it doesn't just have 1 and itself as factors).
Note: If you have two numbers A and B, and you say that A is a factor of B, then A is the smaller value. Though there is the exception when A = B. For example, saying "8 is a factor of 16" has 8 being the smaller value.
Another note: if you say "A is a multiple of B", then B is larger than A. The exception is when A = B. Example: "100 is a multiple of 5"
