This afternoon, sara noticed that the number of the page assigned for homework is divisble by both 12 and 2.what is the smallest possible page number that could have been assigned

The smallest possible page number that would have been assigned is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of pages assigned for homework = x

The 'x' is the number which divisible by both 2 and 12.

2 = 1 × 2 (prime number)

12 =  1 × 2 × 2 × 3 (Composite number)

The smallest possible page number that could have been assigned will be equal to lowest common multiple of 1, 1, 2, 2 and 3.

X = 1 × 1 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 12

-13

step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x-5 for f(-4)

f(-4)   means let x=-4

f(-4) = 2(-4) -5

f(-4) =-8-5

      = -13
