Answer:
21 weeks.
Step-by-step explanation:
To start, you have to get the pounds lost per week.
12/3=4
4 pounds lost per week.
Next, find out how many weeks it takes by solving this equation,
4x=84
Divide 84/4=21
Therefore, it took 21 weeks to lose 84 pounds.
The GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of 25 and 65 is 5. So, we can divide both numbers by 5.
25 / 5 = 5
65 / 5 = 13
Now, put it into a fraction.
5/13
This cannot be simplified any further.
Best of Luck!
15 - x = 2(x + 3)
15 - x = 2x + 6
15 = 3x + 6
9 = 3x
3 = x
x = 3
Craig has every 13th night and Edie has every 5th night off.
You have to find LCM - the Least Common Multiple that is the smallest ("least") number that both 13 and 5 will divide into.
Since numbers 13 and 5 are both prime, then LCM(13,5)=13·5=65.
This means, they will have the same every 65th night off.
13/14 is already in simplest form because they have no common factors.
