-4 + 2A = 12 - 15A + A-4 + 2A = 12 - 16A2A = 12 - 16A + 42A = 16 - 16AA = 8 - 8A
That feels like it's missing something. If that's 42a3b2, that factors to 2 x 3 x 7 x a x a x a x b x b
The LCM is 42a2b2.
Let a and b represent the numbers. ab = 185 a + b = 42 From this get b = 42 - a. Substitute into ab = 185. a(42 - a) = 185 -a2 + 42a - 185 = 0 a2 - 42a + 185 = 0 Factoring, we get (a - 5)(a - 37) = 0 Therefore the two numbers are 5 and 37.
