I got your answer! I will tell you right now. Your GCF is 9 and your LCM is 180! Your very much welcome!! Good luck for you! :)
Set up a proportion. 6/10 = 9/x. cross multiply so x times 6 = 6x. And 10 times 9 = 90. so 6x=90. Then 90 and 6x divided by 6. which gets you x=15. The 9 ft tall elephant will cast a 15 ft shadow.
If she starts with 55000 per year, and she get 1700 per year extra, after fifteen years this extra will be 1700*15, or 25500. Add this to her original salary of 55000 per year to get $80500.
Answer:
w(-15-w)= 0
w= 0 or (-15-w) = 0
Now,
-15-w =0
w= -15
So,The solution of w(-15-w) = 0
w= 0, -15
