<h3>Given</h3>

72 blue, 42 red beads

beads are used to make identical necklaces

<h3>Find</h3>

(a) the greatest number of necklaces that can be made

(b) the number of each color bead in each necklace

<h3>Solution</h3>

You can write and factor the equation

... necklaces = 72 blue + 42 red

... necklaces = 6(12 blue + 7 red)

where 6 is the greatest common factor (GCF) of 72 and 42.

(a) You can make up to 6 identical necklaces. 6 is the largest common factor of 72 and 42. If you were to try to make more, they could not be identical.

(b) Each necklace can consist of 12 blue and 7 red beads. These are the numbers obtained when the total bead count is divided into 6 equal groups.

_____

There are several ways you can find the GCF of two numbers. For small numbers, it is generally feasible to use your knowledge of multiplication tables and factors to choose the largest common factor of two numbers. You can also use Euclid's algorithm, which is to repeatedly compute

... (largest number) modulo (smallest number)

until the result is zero. The final "smallest number" is the GCF.

Here, that looks like

... 72 mod 42 = 30

... 42 mod 30 = 12

... 30 mod 12 = 6

... 12 mod 6 = 0 . . . . . . . so 6 is the GCF

___

Of course, you know that

... 72 = 2³×3²

... 42 = 2×3×7

so, the largest set of common factors is 2×3 = 6.

___

Your graphing calculator may have a function for computing the greatest common divisor (GCD), too. The TI-84 does, for example.

There are 5 equal sections on a spinner. Buzz wants to try to get the Letter D, which is 1/5 of the equal sectioned spinners.

In a 6 sided cube, 2, 4, & 6, are the even numbers, or 3/6 or 1/2 of the numbers are even.

Multiply the two fractions together:

1/5 x 1/2 = 1/10

C) 1/10 is your answer

hope this helps

3x^2+6x-9=0 complete the square
PolarNik [594]
You could simplify this work by factoring "3" out of all four terms, as follows:

3(x^2 + 2x - 3) =3(0) = 0

Hold the 3 for later re-insertion.  Focus on "completing the square" of x^2 + 2x - 3.

1.  Take the coefficient (2) of x and halve it:  2 divided by 2 is 1
2.   Square this result:  1^2 = 1
3.   Add this result (1) to x^2 + 2x, holding the "-3" for later:
                    x^2 +2x 
4    Subtract (1) from x^2 + 2x + 1:     x^2 + 2x + 1               -3 -1  =    0, 
       or      x^2 + 2x + 1 - 4 = 0
5.   Simplify, remembering that x^2 + 2x + 1 is a perfect square:

                        (x+1)^2 - 4 = 0

We have "completed the square."  We can stop here.  or, we could solve for x:  one way would be to factor the left side:

            [(x+1)-2][(x+1)+2]=0     The solutions would then be:

             x+1-2=0=> x-1=0, or x=1, and
             x+1 +2 = 0 => x+3=0, or x=-3.  (you were not asked to do this).

Gilda walks to the train station. If she walks at the rate of 3 mph, she misses her train by 7 minutes. However, if she walks at
Salsk061 [2.6K]
We'll represent the distance as d and the time as t. 
d= 3(t+7)            because Gilda is 7 minutes late when travelling 3 mph
d= 4(t-5)             because Gilda is 5 minutes early at 4 mph

d= 3t + 21
d= 4t -20
3t +21 =4t -20
41=t
d= 3(41) +21= 144
The distance is 144 miles.

Stan has made a $125.30 monthly deposit into an account that pays 1.5% interest, compounded monthly, for 35 years. he would now
Andrew [12]

The annuity of the monthly deposit into an account that pays 1.5% interest, compounded monthly, for 35 years is $333.71

<h3>What is annuity?</h3>

An annuity is a series of payments made at equal period of time.

future value = annuity x [(1 + i)ⁿ - 1] / i

annuity = $125.30

i = 1.5% / 12 = 0.00125

n = 35 years x 12 months = 420

future value = $125.30 x [(1 + 0.00125)⁴²⁰ - 1] / 0.00125

future value = $69,156.049 ≈ $69,156.05

annuity = [i x (present value)] / [1 - (1 + i)⁻ⁿ]

i = 1.5% / 12 = 0.00125

n = 20 years x 12 months = 240

present value = $69,156.05

annuity = (0.00125 x $69,156.05) / [1 - (1 + 0.00125)⁻²⁴⁰]

annuity = $86.45 / 0.25904

= $333.71
