X and y are the numbers
x is greater than y

x=23

if 3 times x is 5 more than 8 times y, find y

3(x)=5+8(y)
3(23)=5+8y
69=5+8y
minus 5
64=8y
divide by 8
8=y
the smaller number is 8

A = L * W = 75 so L = 75/W Cost = 4W + 8(2L + W) = 4W + 16L + 8W = 12W + 16L = 12W + 1200/W C' = (12(W^2 - 100))/(W^2) = (12(W-10)(W+10))/(W^2) so W = 10 then L = 7.5

Explain the role of the GCF in factoring a polynomial.
Ahat [919]
1. GCF is a factor that is shared by all terms within a polynomial for example, if we have a polynomial of the form A*B + A*C, the GCF is A since both terms have A as a factor 2. after we factor out the GCF, it is placed outside the parentheses, in front of the rest of the polynomial. using our previous example, A*B+A*C = A(B+C) 3. we can verify that our factoring is correct by distributing the GCF to the polynomial within the parentheses
