Answer:

<em>The denominator is 12</em>

\displaystyle y=-\frac{8}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Number Line</u>

We can represent any real number in a properly segmented line, where the zero-mark is the separation between positive numbers to its right side and negative numbers to the left side.

We are given the number x = 2/3. Since it's positive, its location lies to the right of the zero but before the 1 as shown in the figure below.

We want to locate a second point y at the same distance from 0 as the point x, so we have two options: y is the same as x, or y is negative at the same distance from zero. We chose the last option.

Its numerator must be 8, so we need to multiply it by 4. But we cannot alter the value of x, so we must also multiply the denominator by 4, which gives us the fraction 8/12, but recall it must be negative.  

\boxed{\displaystyle y=-\frac{8}{12}}

The denominator is 12

Find the GCF 4x^5y^3+8x^4y^4+4x^3y^2
Alekssandra [29.7K]

4x^5y^3+8x^4y^4+4x^3y^2

GCF is the greatest common factor

We take GCF of numbers  first and then we take GCF for variables

GCF of 4, 8, 4 is 4 because all the numbers are divisible by 4

For variable, lowest exponent is our GCF

GCF of x^5+x^4+x^3 is x^3

GCF of y^3+y^4+y^2 is y^2

So GCF is 4x^3y^2
