The GCF is only 12 because 16 can't multiply a number that gives you 48 only 12.

Solve for x. 8(9x-4)-2=3+2

gavmur [86]

So first you have to move the -2 over to the opposite side.
8(9x-4)=3+2+2
Then you can simplify the right side
8(9x-4)=7
Then you distribute
8*9x=72x
8*-4=-32
so now you have...
72x-32=7
Then you move the 37 over
72x=39
Then you divide by 72 to isolate x
x=39/72 or x= 13/24 or <span>x=0.54167</span>

Solve this application problem using a system of equations: The Bright College footballteam scored 80 times last season, some on

Goryan [66]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\sf \ \ 69 \ \textbf{touchdowns } 11 \ \textbf{field goals } \ }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Touchdown is 7 points, field goals is 3 points

Let's note a the number of touchdowns and b the number of field goals, we can write

(1) a + b = 80

(2) 7a + 3b = 516

(2) - 3*(1) gives

7a + 3b - 3(a + b) = 516 - 3*80

<=> 7a + 3b -3a - 3b = 516 - 240 = 276

<=> 4a = 276

<=> $a=\dfrac{276}{4}=69$

And then from (1) b = 80 - 69 = 11

Hope this helps
