Answer:

16 attires

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the number of attires:

Sally has initially = x

Sally lends half her collection of formal attire to her sister Annie

This means, Sally has currently = 1/2x attires

Sally then buys four more attires. If she had 12 attires now.

Hence, this is expressed Mathematically as:

1/2x + 4 = 12

1/2x = 12 - 4

1/2x = 8

x/2 = 8

Cross Multiply

x = 8 × 2

x = 16

Therefore, the amount of attires Sally had initially = 16 attires

Why is -2x -8 an algebraic expression
Montano1993 [528]
Because algebra means finding the unknown
it is usually used in real life
for example if if 1/2 of the legnth of a line is 8 then what is the legnth
so then 1/2 x=8 and that is algebraic
since it has x, or an unknown in it, it is an algebraic expression

6. Find the HCF of : (a) 21xy³ and 24x²y² (b) 18ab and 36abc <br>(c) 4p³q²r , -12pr² , 16p²q²r²r²​
Simora [160]

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>➤ </u><u>Solution :-</u></h2><h2>a)</h2>

Given monomials are 21 xy³ and 24x²y²

21 xy³ = 3×7×x×y×y×y

24x²y² = 3×8×x×x×y×y

HCF of 21xy³ and 24x²y²

=> 3×x×y×y

=> 3xy²

HCF of 21xy³ and 24x²y² = 3xy²

<h2>b)</h2>

Given monomials are 18 ab and 36abc

18 ab = 18×a×b

36abc = 2×18×a×b×c

HCF of 18 ab and 36abc

=> 18×a×b

=> 18ab

HCF of 18 ab and 36abc = 18ab

<h2>c)</h2>

Given monomials are 4p³q²r , -12pqr² and 16p²q²r²

4p³q²r = 4×p×p×p×q×q×r

-12pqr² = -3×4×p×q×r×r

16p²q²r² = 4×4×p×p×q×q×r×r

HCF of 4p³q²r , -12pqr² and 16p²q²r²

=> 4×p×q×r

=> 4pqr

HCF of 4p³q²r , -12pqr² and 16p²q²r² = 4pqr

<h2><u>Used Concept :-</u></h2>

→ The HCF of two or more numbers is the highest Common factor

→ The product of least common factors is the HCF of the numbers
