Answer:
<em>When 60 beats are heard, Tom hits 15 snare drums, Sam hits 6 kettle drums, and Matt hits 5 bass drums.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The Least Common Multiple ( LCM )
The LCM of two integers a,b is the smallest positive integer that is evenly divisible by both a and b.
For example:
LCM(20,8)=40
LCM(35,18)=630
Since Tom, Sam, and Matt are counting drum beats at their own frequency, we must find the least common multiple of all their beats frequency.
Find the LCM of 4,10,12. Follow this procedure:
List prime factorization of all the numbers:
4 = 2*2
10 = 2*5
12 = 2*2*3
Multiply all the factors the greatest times they occur:
LCM=2*2*3*5=60
Thus, when 60 beats are heard, Tom hits 15 snare drums, Sam hits 6 kettle drums, and Matt hits 5 bass drums.
I think it is 57 I just subtracted the two numbers
Answer:
(1, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 3y = -8
3x + y = 6
Isolate a variable in one of the equations:
y = 6 - 3x
Substitute the value of y into the other equation:
x - 3(6 - 3x) = -8
Use distributive property:
x - 18 + 9x = -8
Combine like terms:
10x - 18 = -8
Isolate the variable:
10x = 10
x = 1
Substitute the value of x into any equation:
3(1) + y = 6
3 + y = 6
Isolate the variable:
y = 3
Answer: 13/7 or as a decimal 1.857142857
How did i get the answer:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
so 1/2 of 10 is 5, 1/2 of 16 is 8
-3/5 of 15 is -9 and -3/5 of -35 is POSITIVE 21
all together should look like 5x+8+−13=−9x+21
(now we have to combine like terms)
8+ -13= -5
5x -5 = -9x+21
Step 2: Add 9x to both sides
5x + 9x= 14x
14x -5 = 21
Step 3: Add 5 to both sides.
21+5= 26
14x=26
Step 4: Divide both sides by 14.
26/14= 1.85714286 or 13/7
Answer:
The answer is C
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply all of the values by 2 and then you end up with the bigger triangle.
