So 72 pencils and 24 calculators
so greates number of identical calculators
this means
what is the biggest number that we can divide 72 and 24 by and get a whole number
this is called the GCM or greatest common multipule
to find the GCM, you factor 72 and group the like ones
72=2 times 2 times 2 times 3 times 3
24=2 times 2 times 2 times 3
so the common group is 2 times 2 times 2 times 3 or 24
so the greates number of packs is 24
so pencils
72 divided by 24=72/24=3
3 pencils per pack
24 divided by 24=24/24=1
1 calulator per pack
answer is 3 pencils and 1 calculator per pack
Left one is linear and the one on the right is nonlinear
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you cannot subtract -1 from 4x, you multiply 2 × 4x = 8x
Now, you have 8x - 1 + 3 = 7
Seperate the 8x from the other numbers
8x = 1 - 3 + 7 ---> 6
8x = 6
Now simplify
x =
<----- to reduce, divide the numerator and denominator by 2
Hence,
x =
