>> -3 (3 - x) = 2x + 5
>> -3 × (3 - x) = 2x + 5
>> -9 + 3x = 2x + 5
>> 3x - 2x = 9 + 5
>> x = 14
<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>
>> -6 - 9p = 3p
>> -9p - 3p = 6
>> -12p = 6
>> p = -1/2

>> -5 (-4 - a) = 3a + 8
>> -5 × (-4 - a) = 3a + 8
>> 20 + 5a = 3a + 8
>> 5a - 3a = 8 - 20
>> 2a = -12
>> a = -12 / 2
>> a = -6
<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>
>> s - 6 = -5s
>> s + 5s = 6
>> 6s = 6
>> s = 6 / 6
>> s = 1
Let the number of marbles be M,
then,
M=6a+4 (when shared among 6 students)
M=7b+4 (when shared among 7 students)
M=8a+4 (when shared among 8 students)
thus
M-4=6a
M-4=7b
M-4=8c
That is M-4 is the smallest number which is a multiple of 6, 7 and 8
Thus we need to find the LCM(6, 7, 8)
LCM(6, 7, 8)=LCM(2*3, 7, 2*2*2) = 2*2*2*3*7=8*21=168
The smallest M-4 is 168,
so the smallest M is 168+4=172
Answer: 172

and also that goat is soooo cute
Answer:
=2 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Converting mixed numbers to fractions, reducing where possible, our initial equation becomes,
3/4×7/2
Applying the fractions formula for multiplication,
=3×7/4×2
= 21/8
Simplify,
2 5/8
