<h3>Answer: 4</h3>

===========================================

Explanation:

For now, ignore the variables. Let's just focus on the coefficients 12 and 16.

The GCF of 12 and 16 is 4 because this is the largest factor they have in common.

12 = 4*3

16 = 4*4

You could create a factor tree to get the prime factorization of each number

12 = 2*2*3

16 = 2*2*2*2

Each factor tree has two copies of '2' leading to the GCF 2*2 = 4.

--------

Now let's go back to the variables. The term 12n and 16w^3 do not have any variables in common. So the final answer won't have any variables in it. If both terms had say a 'w' in them, then w would somehow be involved in the GCF. But that's not the case here. So we just stick to 4 as our answer.

--------

Side note: If you had 12n+16w^3 and you wanted to factor, then you would factor out the GCF 4 to get 12n+16w^3 = 4(3n+4w^3). Use the distribution rule to confirm this.

$y = 25\cdot~3^x\\ \\ 1170 = 25\cdot~3^x\\ \\ \frac{1170}{25} = 3^x\\ \\ \frac{243}{5} = 3^x\\ \\ log\ \frac{243}{5} = log~3^x\\ \\ log~243-log~5=x~log~3\\ \\ 
 log~3^5-log~5=x~log~3\\ \\ 5~log~3-log~5 = x~log~3\\ \\ 5(0,48)-0,70= 0,48x\\ \\ 2,4-0,7 = 0,48x\\ \\ 1,7=0,48x\\ \\ x=\frac{1,7}{0,48}\\ \\ \large{\boxed{x=3,54\ h}}$

Wyatt is going to a carnival that has games and rides. Each game costs $1. 25 and each ride costs $2. 75. Wyatt spent $20. 25 al

Nonamiya [84]

In the carnival the number of games number of rides Wyatt went on is 3 and 6 respectively.

<h3>What is system of equation?</h3>

A system of equation is the set of equation in which the finite set of equation is present for which the common solution is sought.

The number of unknown objects can be find using the system of solution.

Given information-

The cost of each game is $1.25.

The cost of each ride is $2.75.

Total amount of money spent by the Wyatt is $20.25.

The number of rides he went on is twice the number of games he played.

Suppose the number of games Wyatt played is x and the number of rides he went in the carnival is <em>y. </em>

As, the number of rides he went on is twice the number of games he played. Thus,

$y=2x$

Let the above equation as equation one.

As total amount of money spent by the Wyatt is $20.25 and The cost of each game is $1.25 and the cost of each ride is $2.75. Thus,

$1.25x+2.75y=20.25\\$
