If we start with 6 and 8, we can break 6 up into 2*3 and 8 into 2*2*2, thus getting a prime factorization of 2*2*2*2*3, or 2^4 *3.
If we begin with 4 and 12, 4 breaks into 2*2 and 12 into 2*2*3, so the prime factorization of 48 is still 2^4 *3.
The starting factors do not matter, since the answer comes out to be the same. There is exactly one correct answer- it doesn't matter how it's found.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
0.256 or 0.26
Step-by-step explanation:
The common ration is being multiply by 0.4
is the question set up -13=m-5 or....
3x+10y=48
7x+4y=54
multiply the first equation by 2 and the 2nd equation by 5 to remove y
6x+20y=96
35x+20y=270
29x=174
x=6
substitute to any equation
7x+4y=54
42+4y=54
4y=12
y=3
the value of x is 6 and the value of y is 3
923/5000
If you put it in your calculator
