The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of x and 2x is the smallest multiple that is divisible by both x and 2x. Since 2x is a multiple of x, the LCM is simply 2x. This is because any multiple of x will also be a multiple of 2x, making 2x the smallest common multiple of x and 2x.
There are no such integers. Proof: choose any positive whole number x two consecutive even integers: (2x) (2x+2) Take the sum (2x)+(2x+2) (2x)+(2x+2)=340 4x+2=340 4x=338 x=338/4=84.5 Since this is not a whole number, there is no whole number that satisfies the conditions. (There are two consecutive odd integers which add up to 340: 169 and 171)

There is no such number. Since if x were the largest multiple of 3 and 7 then what about 2x? 2x would be a multiple of 3 since x is a multiple of 3; 2x would be a multiple of 7 since x is a multiple of 7; and 2x is bigger than x. So x cannot be the largest.
The sum of any two consecutive whole numbers is always odd, and equal to one more than twice the first number (2x+1).
Take the first number. Add it to itself. Keep adding that number to the total three more times. The first five nonzero multiples of 9 are 9, 18, 27, 36, and 45. Put another way, let each number equal x. The first five nonzero multiples of x are 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x and 5x.
2x
The least common multiple (LCM) of two identical expressions, such as 2x + y and 2x + y, is simply the expression itself. In this case, the LCM of 2x + y and 2x + y is 2x + y. This is because the LCM is the smallest expression that both 2x + y and 2x + y can divide into evenly without leaving a remainder.
There are no such integers.

Let the unknown number be x: 8x+1 = 2x+25 8x-2x = 25-1 6x = 24 x = 4
There is no such number. Since if x were the largest multiple of 3 and 7 then what about 2x? 2x would be a multiple of 3 since x is a multiple of 3; 2x would be a multiple of 7 since x is a multiple of 7; and 2x is bigger than x. So x cannot be the largest.
The answer to your question is (2x + 2y)^-1 = 1/(2x + 2y)^1. When you raise a number to a negative power, you can rewrite it by dividing one by the original number with the negative sign dropped from the exponent. Because the power here is 1, you can rewrite the answer again to 1/(2x + 2y) since any number raised to the power of 1 is simply the number itself. You can't add 2x and 2y because they are two different variables.
Let the number be x 12-2x = -7 -2x = -7-12 -2x = -19 x = 9.5
