Answer:
Wrong. The answer must be 60.
Step-by-step explanation:
30, 72, and XThere must exist positive integers A, B, and C such that 30·72 = XA
30X = 72B
72X = 30C
Simplifying:2160 = XA
5 = 12B
12X = 5C
Solving each for X:X = 2160 /AX = 12 B/ 5X = 5 C /12
Set the last two right sides equal, since both are equal to X12 *B/ 5 = 5 * C / 12144B = 25CThe smallest B and C can be are B = 25 and C = 144
Substituting inX = 12B/ 5 = 12*25/ 5 = 60 X = 5C / 12 = 5 * 144/ 12 = 60
That works because30, 72, and 6030*72 = 2160 = 60*3630*60 = 1800 = 73*2560*72 = 4320 = 30*144
So the answer is X = 60
