Well think, 24= 8x4 right? So, 2 can go into 24 which=12 so lets divide.
24÷2= 12
12÷2=6
6÷2=3
3 is the smallest we can get so can 3 go into 24? yes, so 8 times
so the smallest they can be are 8*3 and you cant reduce 8 anymore because of the three once one gets the smallest they both do. hope this helped.
Answer:
Given no. of persons owned laptop = 76
Total of no. of students owned + Total of no. of students dont have owned laptop given = 155
No. of students dont have laptops = 155 - 76 = 79
So then the total no. of no laptops = 79 + 17 = 96(ans)

Answer:
(x, y, z) = (-1, 0, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
We notice that the coefficients of z are such that elimination of the z term from the equations is made easy.
Adding equations 1 and 2:
(2x -3y -2z) +(x +3y +2z) = (4) +(-7)
3x = -3
x = -1
Adding equations 2 and 3:
(x +3y +2z) +(-4x -4y -2z) = (-7) +(10)
-3x -y = 3
Substituting for x, we get ...
(-3)(-1) -y = 3
0 = y . . . . . . . . . . . add y-3 to both sides
Then z can be found from any equation. Substituting for x and y in the second equation gives ...
-1 +2z = -7
2z = -6 . . . . . add 1
z = -3 . . . . . .divide by 2
The solution is (x, y, z) = (-1, 0, -3).
