LCM and HCF · solved example
The LCM (lowest common multiple) of 12 and 18 is:
Solution
In prime factors, 12 = 2^2 x 3 and 18 = 2 x 3^2. The LCM takes the highest power of each prime: 2^2 x 3^2 = 36.
Speed · solved example
A train travels 240 km in 4 hours. Its average speed (in km/h) is:
Solution
Average speed is distance divided by time: 240 / 4 = 60 km/h.
Linear equations · solved example
If 2x + 5 = 17, then the value of x is:
Solution
Subtract 5 from both sides to get 2x = 12, then divide by 2 to get x = 6.
