Factors of 7 are 1 and 7 and that's it because it is prime number and the 5 multiples are 1,2,3,4,5 2,4,6,8,10 3,6,9,12,15 4,8,12,16,20 5,10,15,20,25 6,12,18,24,30 7,14,21,28,35 8,16,24,32,40 9,18,27,36,45 10,20,30,40,50
We can see that LOM is MON + LON so we can set up an equation to find the value of x then substitute that back into MON to find the value of that angle.
→ In equations its important to keep both sides equal and do operations to both sides and not one because then if you do an operation to only one side then you have changed the equation so it's important to do operations on both sides and that's an important rule to bare in mind.
2x + 33 + 3x + 20 = 113
→ Simplify
5x + 53 = 113
→ Minus 53 from both sides to isolate 5x
5x = 60
→ Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x
x = 12
But we are not finished, we have only found the value of x not the value of MON as we were asked so we have to substitute x back into the expression to find the value of MON
As the method Jim was performing will also lead to the solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given first equation as:
Ax + By = C
Second equation is:
Dx + Ey = F
Jim solved the equation as:
He begins by multiplying equation (1) by D and equation (2) by A.
and so by subtracting both the equations he will obtain a value of y.
and then put the y-value in any of the given two equations to obtain the value of x.
Angela Method:
you should have multiplied equation (1) by E and equation (2) by B.
and when she will subtract both the equations she will get the value of x first and then when she will put the value of x in any of the given equation she will obtain the value of y.
But both will get a value for x and y.
Hence, the method Jim was performing was also correct.
