So 72 pencils and 24 calculators
so greates number of identical calculators
this means
what is the biggest number that we can divide 72 and 24 by and get a whole number
this is called the GCM or greatest common multipule
to find the GCM, you factor 72 and group the like ones
72=2 times 2 times 2 times 3 times 3
24=2 times 2 times 2 times 3
so the common group is 2 times 2 times 2 times 3 or 24
so the greates number of packs is 24
so pencils
72 divided by 24=72/24=3
3 pencils per pack
24 divided by 24=24/24=1
1 calulator per pack
answer is 3 pencils and 1 calculator per pack
2a+3=s
I used the first letter of the name, or you can use x and y in place of a and s
Answer:
Do repeated addition
Step-by-step explanation:
For example 12 * 12 = 144 because 12+12+12+12+12+12+12+12+12+12+12+12=144
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard form is Ax + By = C, so we want x to be on the left side
To accomplish this, subtract 1/4x from both sides.
Multiply by -4 to get x to be equal to 1.
