Let
a------------> first number
b------------> second number
we know that
a+b=-7--------> a=-7-b----------> equation 1
a-b=14--------> equation 2
<span>I substitute 1 in 2
</span>
(-7-b)-b=14-------------> -7-b-b=14----------> -7-2b=14-------> 2b=-7-14
2b=-21---------> b=-10.5
a=-7-b-------> a=-7-(-10.5)-----> a=-7+10.5------> a=3.5
the answer is
the two numbers are
a=3.5
and
b=-10.5
THE LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE WILL BE HIGHER THAN THE greatest common factor as long as the 2 numbers are different.
Since there are 63 people divided into 3 sections, you could write 63÷3 for your division sentence.
