Answer: The smallest possible number is 136.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You need to find the Least common multiple (LCM), which is the smallest of the common multiples of 17 and 8.

2. You can descompose 17 and 8 into primes factors. Then, you obtain:

17=17

8=(2)(2)(2)=2^{3}

3. Now, you must choose commons and no commons with the greatest exponent and multiply them. Therefore the result is:

(17)(2^{3})=136

LCM=136

-40-8b=-6(1+7b) what’s the answer
Andre45 [30]

\text{Hey there!}

\mathsf{-40-8b=-6(1+7b)}\\\mathsf{SIMPLIFY\ both\ sides\ of\ your\ equation}\\\mathsf{-40-8b=-6(1+7b)}

\mathsf{Distribute\ the\ RIGHT\ side\ of\ the\ equation }\\\mathsf{Distribute [the\ formula\ is: a(b+c)=a(b)+a(c)=ab+ac]}\\\mathsf{-6(1)+(-6)}(7b)\\\mathsf{-6(1)=-6}\\\mathsf{-6(7b)=-42b}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow\ =-6+(-42b)}

\mathsf{-40-8b=-6+(-42b)}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow -8b-40=-42b-6}

\mathsf{ADD\ by\ 42b\ on\ your\ sides}\\\mathsf{-8b-40+42b=-42b-6+42b}\\\mathsf{SOLVE\ above\ correct\ to\ get\ us\ to\ the\ next\ step!}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow 34b-40=-6}

\mathsf{ADD\ by\ 40\ on\ your\ sides}\\\mathsf{34b-40+40=-6+40}\\\mathsf{Cancel\ out\ -40+40\ because\ that\ gives\ the\ result\ of\ 0}\\\mathsf{-6+40=34}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow New\ equation: 34b = 34}

\mathsf{DIVIDE\ both\ of\ your\ sides\ by\ 34}\\\mathsf{\dfrac{34b}{34}=\dfrac{34}{34}}\\\\\mathsf{Cancel\ out: \dfrac{34b}{34}\ because\ that\ gives\ you\ the\ result\ of\ 1b}\\\\\mathsf{Keep:\dfrac{34}{34}\ because\ it\ solves\ for\ b}\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{34}{34}=34\div34=1}

\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{Thus\ your\ answer\ is:\boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{b=1}}}}}}}}\checkmark

Please i need your help in this question, i will mark you to brainliest ​
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

\frac{2520}{64}  {ln}^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

V=L×W×H

=3½in×1⅞×2¾

=3×2+1/2in × 1×8+7/8in × 2×4+3/4in

=7/2in × 15/8in × 24/4in

=2520/64 incube

so it's you tern to change into mixed fraction

sorry for that

but if it's helpful ❤❤

THANK YOU

Can some one help me with math
hoa [83]
5 is A, because it's the only number that is whole when square rooted.
6 is confusing because it only gives you one number per answer, unless you are to add the two distances together? Then it would be 7 because X's distance is +4 and Y's distance is +3
I do not have an answer for 7
8 is 3.7 (or C)
9 is an easy one. Find out what the L and W is, and since it's a square we only need to find one of them. We square root the area and we are given 14.96662955, if rounded we get 15. So the answer is A
10 I don't understand the "estimate" for a square root number, I was not taught that.

Find the greatest common factor of 15x^2y^3 and -18x^3yz <br> The Answer has to be like _x_y_
Daniel [21]

Answer:

The greatest common factor of this would be 3x^2y

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, first find the greatest common factor of the coefficients. Since 3 goes in evenly to both 15 and -18, then we know that it is a common factor.

From there we need to find the number of x's. Since the first term only has 2 x's and the second has 3, we take the lowest number. (x^2)

And since the first term has 3 y's and the second has just 1, we take the lowest number (y).
