Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Take L.C.M of 2 and 1
⇒
Multiply the numbers
⇒
Apply cross product property
⇒
Move variable to left hand side and change it's sign
Similarly, move constant to right hand side and change it's sign
⇒
Collect like terms
⇒
Change the signs of both sides of the equation
⇒
Divide both sides of the equation by 7
⇒
Calculate
⇒
--------------------------------------------------------
How can we find the L.CM?
The steps for finding L.C.M of the numbers are mentioned below:
Step 1 : First of all find the prime factors of each numbers.
Step 2: Take out the common prime factors. Step 3 : Also take out the other remaining prime factors.
Step 4 : Multiply those all prime factors and obtain L.C.M . If there is not any common prime factors then their L.C.M is the product of the given numbers.
--------------------------------------------------------
In our case , we are going to find out the LCM of 2 and 1.
First, Find all prime factors of 2 and 1
2 = 1 × 2
1 = 1 × 1
Common prime factor = 1
Remaining prime factors = 2 and 1
Multiply them : 1 × 2 × 1 = 2
