Answer:

7 : 7 : 12 am

Step-by-step explanation:

This question pretty much requires us to obtain the lowest number that is common to all three times. The qay to obtain this is by finding the LCM of all three numbers.

This is given as;

48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

108 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3

The LCM is = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 432 seconds.

Converting to minutes by dividing by 60, the time is = 432 ÷ 60 min = 7 min 12 sec

The next time they would change simultaneously is; 7am + 7 min 12 sec = 7 : 7 : 12 am

131 I think?

If he gets 2 plants per seed packet you should just have to multiply 36 x 3 (108) and then add 23 which is what he already has.

Question 3 Solve the system of equations. 3x+2y=14 Y=X-3 What is the value of y?

Aleksandr [31]

3x + 2y = 14
Substitute x - 3 in the y spot.
3x + 2(x - 3) = 14
Distribute
3x + 2x - 6 = 14
Combine liked terms
5x - 6 = 14
+6 on both sides
5x = 20
/5 on both sides
x = 4

Substitute x in one of the equations.
y = x - 3
y = 4 - 3
y = 1

Answer:
y = 1

What is the rate of change of the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall at that instant(in meters per minute)

Answer:

$\frac{dx}{dt}=11.94m/min$
