This just means that thefraction<span> has been reduced. For instance 4 / 6 is </span>not<span> such a </span>fraction<span>, because the top and the bottom have </span>gcf<span> = </span>2<span>, but </span>2<span> / 3 is such a </span><span>fraction</span>
5(x + 30)
x + 30 represents the number of minutes per day he practices
5 is the number of days he practices
so 5(x+30) = the total number of minutes he practices in 5 days
For example, if he practices the piano for 20 minutes per day and the violin for 30 minutes per day, he practices a total of 50 minutes per day. For 5 days that would be 5 x 50 = 250 minutes in 5 days.
Plug that into the equation
5(x+30) = 5(20+30) = 5(50) = 250
Answer: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Factors of 7 are, 1, and 7. The factors of 21 are, 1, 3, 7, and 21, making 7 the gcf.
2x + 2y = 6 . . . . . (1)
x + 3y = -1 . . . . . (2)
(1) x 3 => 6x + 6y = 18 . . . . . (3)
(2) x 2 => 2x + 6y = -2 . . . . . (4)
(3) - (4) => 4x = 20
x = 20/4 = 5
