Question

If the hcf of 657 and 963 is expressible in the form 657x + 963x -15 , find X.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2/135

Step-by-step explanation:

HCF of 657 and 963 is 9

∴ 657x + 963x - 15 = 9                         [∵hcf of 657 and 963 can be expressible

                                                                   in the form 657x + 963x -15]

==>  1620x - 15 = 9

==>  1620x = 24

==>  x = 24/1620 = 12/810=4/270=2/135

∴ x = 2/135
