Answer:

The answer is 6(7 + 12) ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Factors are the numbers you multiply together to get another number

- Ex: 4 × 5 = 20 ⇒ 4 and 5 are the factors of 20

- Factors of a number n are the numbers that can multiplied together

 to give the number n

- Ex: The factors of 6 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 because 1 × 6 = 6 and 2 × 3 = 6

- The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each

  term separately and then add the products

- Ex: a(b + c) = ab + ac

* Lets solve the problem

- We want to find the greatest common factor in 42 + 72

∵ 42 = 1 × 42 , 2 × 21 , 3 × 14 , 6 × 7

∴ The factors of 42 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 , 7 , 14 , 21 , 42

∵ 71 = 1 × 72 , 2 × 36 , 3 × 24 , 4 × 18 , 6 × 12 , 8 × 9

∴ The factors of 72 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 9 , 12 , 18 , 24 , 36 , 72

- The common factors between 42 and 72 are the bold numbers

∵ The common factors between 42 and 72 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 6

∵ The greatest one of them is 6

∴ The greatest common factor of 42 and 72 is 6

- In the distributive property we have a number multiplying by a sum

 of two numbers

∵ 42 ÷ 6 = 7 and 72 ÷ 6 = 12

- We can write 42 + 72 as 6 × 7 + 6 × 12 and take 6 as a common factor

∵ 42 + 72 = 6 × 7 + 6 × 12

- Take 6 as a common factor

∴ 42 + 72 = 6(7 + 12)

Simplify the expression. (3x/y)^-3
AysviL [449]

Answer:

y^3/(27 x^3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

((3 x)/y)^(-3)

((3 x)/y)^(-3) = (y/(3 x))^3:

(y/(3 x))^3

Multiply each exponent in y/(3 x) by 3:

(y^3)/((3 x)^3)

Multiply each exponent in 3 x by 3:

y^3/(3^3 x^3)

3^3 = 3×3^2:

y^3/(3×3^2 x^3)

3^2 = 9:

y^3/(3×9 x^3)

3×9 = 27:

Answer:  y^3/(27 x^3)

F(x) = x^2 - 3x+ 5 g(x) = 2x^2 - 4x - 11 what is h(x) = f(x) + g(x)
iogann1982 [59]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

h(x) = 3x² - 7x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate h(x) by adding the two polynomials:

h(x) = f(x) + g(x):

h(x) = x² - 3x + 5 + 2x² - 4x - 11

Combine like terms:

h(x) = 3x² - 7x - 6
