Answer:

x+x=8

that's mean: 2.x/4 + 4.x/1 = 18/1

we find at least a common multiple of 4 and multiply the units by 4

2x + 16x = 72

18x = 72/:18

x = 4

Answer: 7

suppose: the smaller number is a

the larger number is b

because The sum of two numbers is 8 => a + b = 8 (1)

four times the smaller number is added to two times the larger number, the result is 18 => 4a + 2b = 18 (2)

(1)(2) => a + b = 8

4a + 2b = 18

<=> a = 1

b = 7

=> the larger number is 7

Answer:

there is no solution for these linear equations in two variables.

since a1 (y) = a2 (y)

b1 (5x) = b2 (5x)

but, c1 (12) not equal to c2 (18)

Whitepunk [10]

Answer: The greatest number of rows Li Na can plant is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Li Na is going to plant 63 tomato plants and 81 rhubarb plants.

Li Na would like to plant the plants in rows where each row has the same number of tomato plants and each row has the same number of rhubarb plants.

To find the greatest number of rows Li Na can plant, we need to find the GCF of 63 and 81.

Since , $63=7\times9\ and\ 81=8\times9$

Clearly, GCF(63,81)=9

Therefore, the greatest number of rows Li Na can plant is 9.
