The answer to this question would be: No, they can't
Greatest common factor biggest possible value is the number value itself. There is no factor that bigger than the number.
But the least common multiple smallest possible value is the number. There is no multiple that smaller than the number.
So it is not possible to have GCF bigger than LCM.
Answer:no
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The length is 8 inches and the width is 3 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width.
The length can be represented by 2w + 2
Use the area formula, A = lw, and plug in the area and the expressions for the length and width:
A = lw
24 = (2w + 2)(w)
Simplify and solve for w:
24 = 2w² + 2w
2w² + 2w - 24
Divide everything by 2:
w² + w - 12
Factor:
(w + 4)(w - 3)
Set equal to 0 and solve for each factor:
w + 4 = 0
w = -4
w - 3 = 0
w = 3
Since the width cannot be negative, the width has to be 3.
Next, find the length by plugging in 3 as w:
2w + 2
2(3) + 2
= 8
So, the length is 8 inches and the width is 3 inches
There are many ways to do this depending on the property you have to use:
If you use the distributive property, you need to distribute 3/4 to -10 and 2/5. Distribute means you will multiply it so your resulting equation will be this:

Before you can add, you need to first make them like terms because you cannot add unlike fractions. Get the LCD and form your new equation:

Now you can just add them together to get:

and then simplify your fraction:

or -
The whole fraction becomes negative because when you divide integers and of them is negative, the final answer will be negative.
