The GCF is based upon what integer divides evenly into two numbers; the LCM is based upon what integer two numbers share in a list of multiples. The GCF must be a prime number; the LCM must be a composite number.

Answer:

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x - 4) + 3x - 9x = 6 - (2x + 5) + 8x

(remove parentheses)

5x-20+3x-9x=6-2x-5+8x

(collect like terms and calculate)

-x-20=1+6x

(move the terms)

-x-6x=1+20

(collect like terms and calculate)

-7x=21

(divide both sides)

x=-3

(your answer :))

Answer:

14, 12

so 28-14=14

and 28-16=12

hopefully that works
