Sam and carlos are bowling with plastic pins in sam's living room. remarkably, sam knocks down 8 pins on every bowl, and carlos knocks down 9 pins on every bowl. at the end of the day, sam and carlos have knocked down the same total number of pins. what is the least number of total pins that sam and carlos could have each knocked down?

8 = 2*2*2

9=3*3

We are finding the least common multiple

LCM = 2*2*2*3*3

LCM = 72

Sam and Carlos have each knocked down 72 pins

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.

y -5 = (-1/4)(x + 8)
