Answer:
The smallest positive number is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
let the smallest positive number = x
45 is a multiple of 9 ⇒ 9 x 5 = 45
the next multiple of 9 after 55 is 63
= 9 x 7
= 63
Thus, x + 55 = 63
x = 63 - 55
x = 8
The greatest common factor of 45 and 63 = 9
Therefore, the smallest positive number is 8
Answer:
x = 2
y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it gives you the value of y already, just plug that into the equation, like so:
y = 4x - 9
x - 3 = 4x - 9
<em><u>Subtract the x from both sides:</u></em>
x - 3 = 4x - 9
-x - x
__________
-3 = 3x - 9
<em><u>Then, add 9 to both sides:</u></em>
-3 = 3x - 9
+9 + 9
________
6 = 3x
<em><u>Divide both sides by 3:</u></em>
2 = x
<em><u>Now plug in x for y:</u></em>
y = x - 3
y = 2 - 3
y = -1
Answer:
4a^2-6b^2+12
Step-by-step explanation:
(a^2 - 2b^2 + 3) - (4b^2 - 5) + (3a^2 + 4)
distribute the negative sign to each term in the 2nd expression
a^2-2b^2+3-4b^2+5+3a^2+4
combine like terms
4a^2-6b^2+12
Step-by-step explanation:
Statements
1.BC/CD=AC/CE
2.Angle BCA is congruent to ECD
3.Triangle ACB is congruent to ECD
Reasons
1.Given
2.Vertical angles are congruent
3.SAS
You can do:
-two trapezoids
-six triangles
-two parallelograms
You can't put it into one rectangle, that will definitely not work.
As you can see from the attachment, triangles work, trapezoid as well, and two parallelograms. The one rectangle would not work.
I hope this helps!
