1.) 4(x+3)
Find the GCF, Greatest Common Factor, of 4x and 12.
4x=2*2*x
12=3*2*2
The greatest common factor is 4. Put this outside of the parentheses. (You would multiply the 2*2)
Then, put the rest of the factors as a sum. (Only the factors on the same line.)
Solution: 4(x+3)
To check, distribute to see if it works.
4x+12
2.) 2(4r+7)
Find the GCF of 8r and 14
8r=2*2*2*r
14= -1*7*2
The greatest common factor is 2. (There is only 1 two, so you would not multiply them.)
Then, put the rest of the factors as a sum. (Only the factors on the same line.)
Multiply the 2*2*r as one addend and the -1*7 as the other.
Solution: 2(4r-7)
To check, distribute to see if it works.
8r-14
Do you get it now?
3.) 5(x+7)
4.) 7(2x+1)
5.) Cannot be factored.
32x-15
Find the GCF of 32x and -15
32x: 2*2*2*2*2*x
-15: -1*5*3
Because there are no similar factors other than 1, it cannot be factored.
6.) 8(4x+3)
7.) 3(2x-3)
8.) 24(1x+2)
9.) 9(-2x+8)
10.) Cannot be factored
11.) 8(1x+3)
12.) 50(1x+5)
Both 15 and 20 can be divided evenly by 5, so 5 is the greatest common monomial: 5(3x^2 + 4x) or 5x(3x + 4)
Answer:
Genevieve plants a total of 432 flowers.
Step-by-step explanation:
18 flowers go in every row so you have to multiply the number of rows (24) by the number of flowers in each row (18) to get the total of 432 flowers.
Step-by-step explanation:
anything greater than 195.
Answer:
364.
Step-by-step explanation:
14C3 = 14! / 11! 3! which simplifies to:
14*13*12 /3*2*1
= 14*13* 2
= 364.
