We look at the factors of each number of baseball card.
The factors of 28 are 1 x 2² x 7
The factors of 68 are 1 x 2² x 17
Looking at the factors, the greatest common factor is 2² or 4. This means that the greatest possible number of baseball cards that each person could have received were 4 baseball cards.
Find the factors of 3, which are 1, 3 or -1, -3, and 24, which can be 1,24; 2,12; 3, 8; 4, 6, negative and positive, and write them this way: factors of 3 to the left, factors of 24 to the right.
then multiply diagonally and add up the products. Keep trying different pairs of factors till you make a -17
1 -3
3 -8
1*(-8) + 3(-3) = -17
so (n-3)(3n-8) is the factored form of the expression
Answer: The probability is 2/5.
Step-by-step explanation: If there are 5 pink bows, 1 blue bow, and 4 purple bows, there are a total of 10 bows in the box. The probability of choosing a purple one is 4/10 (since there are 4 purple bows). 4/10 simplifies to 2/5.
That dot means multiplication
