List the multiples of both 12 and 9:

12, 24, 36, 48, 60

9, 18, 27, 36, 45

The lowest common multiple is 36.

This will make the fixtures and bulbs equal.

This means they bought 3 packages of light figures 3 x 12 = 36)

And bought 4 packages of bulbs ( 4 x 9 = 36)

Find out LCM of 9,12

  • LCM=2(2)(3)(3)=36

Now

No of light packages=36/12=3

No of light bulbs=36/4=9

Find x. Give reasons to justify your solution.
stich3 [128]

Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

If AB and CD are the straight lines, sum all the angles formed at a point lying on this line will be 180°.

m∠COE + m∠EOF + m∠FOB + m∠BOD = 180° [Angles at a point O on line AB]

3x + x + (x + 12) + m∠BOD = 180°

m∠BOD = 180° - (5x + 12)

Similarly, m∠AOD + m∠AOC = 180°

152° + m∠AOC = 180°

m∠AOC = 28°

Since, ∠AOC and ∠BOD are the vertical angles,

m∠AOC = m∠BOD

180° - (5x + 12)° = 28°

5x + 12 = 180 - 28

5x = 140

x = 28

5(15-7y/3)+2y=-4<br>solve for y and plz show steps​
Burka [1]

Answer:

75 - 35y / 3 + 2y = -4

( 75 - 35y + 6y ) / 3 = -4 [ Taking LCM ]

( 75 - 29y ) / 3 = -4

75 - 29y = -12

29y = 75+12

29y = 87

y = 3

hope that helps ✌

Area of a triangle =1/2*b*h

Where base=19.5cm while the height is 8 4/5 = 8.8

Area = 1/2 * 19.5cm * 8.8cm

Area = 171.6cm/2

Area=85.6cm
