Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation: To find the (GCF) or greatest common factor of 15 and 20, begin by finding all of the factors of 3.

Since 15 ÷ 1 is 15, this means that 1 and 15 are factors.

Since 15 ÷ 3 gives us 5, this means that 3 and 5 are factors.

Also, 15 ÷ 5 and 15 ÷ 15 would be factors, but we don't list repeat factors.

Next, we find all of the factors of 20.

Since 20 ÷ 1 is 20, we know that 20 and 1 are factors.

Since 20 ÷ 2 is 10, we know that 10 and 2 are factors.

Since 20 ÷ 4 is 5, we know that 5 and 4 are factors.

Now we look for the largest factor that is shared by the two lists which is 5.

Therefore, the greatest common factor of 15 and 20 is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

your question doesn't make sense. But here is the value of x

5x - 12 = 32

5x = 44

x = 44/5 or 8 4/5

PLEASE HELP ITS MATH

Answer:

y = 4x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

as the line is parallel to the given equation, the gradient (4x) must stay the same, and as it must pass through the point (-2, -5), we can solve for the y intercept:

to calculate for the y intercept, it is best to express the equation in slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

in this equation, mx stands for the gradient, which ive already highlighted remains 4x, and b stands for the y intercept (which we don't know yet).

y = 4x + b

what we have been given instead is the coordinates for the point this line crosses through (-2,-5) meaning when x = -2, y = -5.

Using this information, we can replace x and y in the equation:

-5 = 4(-2) + b

with consideration to the order of operations, it is important to solve the brackets first

-5 = -8 + b

now to get b by itself add 8 to both sides of the equation:

-5 + 8 = -8 + 8 + b

3 = b

now we remember from the slope intercept equation, b = the y intercept, so we can now solve the equation.

y = 4x + b

replace b with the number we solved for (3).

y = 4x + 3

this is the equation of the line that is parallel to y = 4x + 1, and passes through the point (-2, -5)

hope this helps :)
