9 is the answer negatives cancel out creating positve
37 1/2 +10 1/2 = 48 inches
48 inches is your answer ;)
Turn each number into the product of it's prime factors.
32=16x2=2x2x2x2x2=2^5
48=24*2=6x4x2=2x3x2x2x2
Pick the highest number that occurs. In this case it is 2. Now we have to see how many times it appears in both. It appears 5 times in 32 and 4 times in 48. 4 is the highest number of times it appears in the numbers so:
2^4=2x2x2x2=16
The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 32 and 48 is 16.
C+s=48
2c+4s=134 ⇒ c+2s=67
subtracting the equations, we get, s=67-48=19,
so, c=48-19=29
