Answer:
I would rather use their multiples.
Step-by-step explanation:
With 13 and 14, neither number has many factors (and few prime factors, for that matter) so factoring would be pretty much useless. If you wanted to use the prime factors of 14 (7 and 2) multiplying either of them by 13 would not give you the LCM. Actually the LCM is just 13*14 which is 182.
Good luck!
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
All sides are equal in terms of symmetry, such as the 5 and 5 opposite the angle 120 that repeats itself at the centre 3 times
Answer:
m < DBC = 51
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the picture, we know <ABD and <DBC make up <ABC. Knowing this, we can set up an equation like so, plug in the known values, and solve to find m<DBC:
Let x be the number.
"twelve decreased by twice a number" ---> 12 - 2x
"8 times the sum of number and 4" ---> 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8x + 32 (distributive property)
12 = 10x + 32 (add 2x to both sides)
-20 = 10x (subtract 32 from both sides)
x = -2 (divide both sides by 10)
