As, the length of all pieces are equal, so for getting the greatest possible length of the pieces, we need to find GCF(greatest common factor) of 60, 48 and 72.

First we will factor out all three numbers completely......

$60=2*2*3*5\\ \\ 48=2*2*2*2*3\\ \\ 72=2*2*2*3*3$

The common factors are: 2, 2 and 3

Thus the GCF $= 2*2*3=12$

So, the greatest possible length of the pieces without having any cloth left over will be 12 inches.

b.

For finding the number of pieces for each color cloth, we will just divide the length of each cloth by 12. So...

Number of pieces for blue cloth $=\frac{60}{12}=5$

Number of pieces for gold cloth $=\frac{48}{12}=4$ and

Number of pieces for white cloth $=\frac{72}{12}=6$

What is the value of x?

cestrela7 [59]

-3x-1 = 2-(-3)
-3x-1 = 2+3
-3x-1 = 5
-3x = 5+1
-3x = 6
x = 6/(-3)
x = -2
