Answer:

GCF of 18 and 72 is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>To find the GCF of two or more numbers</u>

we need two steps

Step 1: List the prime factors of each number.

Step 2: Multiply those factors all numbers have in common. If there are no common prime factors, the GCF is 1.

<u>To find the GCF of 18 and 72</u>

18 = 2 * 3* 3

72 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3

Common prime factors 2, 3, 3

Therefore GCF = 2* 3 * 3 = 18

M=3rt squared -2rv solve for v.

insens350 [35]

M = 3rt^2 - 2rv
2rv = 3rt^2 - M
v = (3rt^2 - M)/2r

The sum of the ages of Kristen and Ben is 32. Four years ago Kristen was twice as old as Ben. How old are they both now?

Elan Coil [88]

Let us say that:

K = age of Kristen

B = age of Ben

From the problem, we make the equations:

eqtn 1: K + B = 32

eqtn 2: (K – 4) = 2 (B – 4)

Simplifying eqtn 2:

K – 4 = 2 B – 8

K = 2 B – 4

Plugging in this to eqtn 2:

(2 B – 4) + B = 32

3 B – 4 = 32

3 B = 36

B = 12

From eqtn 2:

K = 2 B – 4 = 2 (12) – 4 = 20

So Kristen is 20 while Ben is 12.

(8,1) and (x,3) The pair of points is on the graph of an inverse variation. Find the missing value.

Gelneren [198K]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{inverse proportional variation}
\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies inversely with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=\cfrac{k}{x}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------$

$\bf (\stackrel{x}{8},\stackrel{y}{1})\textit{ we know that }
\begin{cases}
x=8\\
y=1
\end{cases}\implies 1=\cfrac{k}{8}\implies 8=k
\\\\\\
therefore\qquad \boxed{y=\cfrac{8}{x}}
\\\\\\
(x,\stackrel{y}{3})\textit{ when y = 3, what is \underline{x}?}\qquad 3=\cfrac{8}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{8}{3}$
