Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you need to find the largest common factor. The way I did it was by listing out all of the factors of each number, then going through all of them and finding the largest common factor which was 8.

Answer:

8 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a common, GCF question and the question becomes, what number is the GCF of 40 and 24.

40= 2x2x2x5

24=2x2x2x3

Both share 2x2x2, which is 8 so the largest number of pencils in each pack is 8.

Consider the quadratic equation below. 4x^2-5=3x+4 Determine the correct set-up for solving the equation using the quadratic for
lidiya [134]

4x^2-5=3x+4

4x^2 - 3x - 5 - 4 = 0

4x^2 - 3x -9 = 0

x= \dfrac{3 \pm \sqrt{3^2 - 4(4)(-9)}}{2(4)}

x = \frac 1 8 (3 \pm \sqrt{9(1 + 16)})

x = \frac 1 8 (3 \pm 3\sqrt{17})
