I have answered this question before.
Given:
Bob has three kids whose ages has the product of 72. I will only be able to give you a set of 3 numbers to represent the ages. Had the sum of the ages been given, the specific ages would be provided.
I just did a prime factorization of 72.
72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
3 ÷ 3 = 1
1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 72 ⇒ 2³ x 3²
There are a lot of possible combinations, here are a few.
1 x 8 x 9 = 72 ⇒ 1 + 8 + 9 = 18
1 x 4 x 18 = 72 ⇒ 1 + 4 + 18 = 23
<span>2 x 4 x 9 = 72 ⇒ 2 + 4 + 9 = 15</span>
Answer:
do you have answer choice
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Your answer is infinitely many solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
To use elimination you have to get one of the variables to be the opposite of each other, so here you would do:
-2(2x+y = 7)
4x+2y= 14
You multiply the top by -2 to get the opposite of 2y, which is -2y. This in turn multiplies everything by -2 on the top solution giving us the top equation below.
-4x-2y = -14
+ 4x+2y = 14
--------------------
0 = 0
If you add those 2 solutions then you get 0 = 0, which is infinitely many solutions
1/2a + 2/3(30)= 50
1/2a + 20 = 50
1/2a= 50-20
1/2a= 30
A= 30(2)
A= 60
The solution is 60.
Hope this helps!
