Emma says the GCF of 16 and 12 is 48. Her friend Grace says the answer is 4. Who is right? Explain.

2 answers:

8 0

Grace is correct. The greatest common FACTOR of 16 and 12 is 4.

Emma gave the correct answer to a different question. 48 is the least
common MULTIPLE of 16 and 12, not their greatest common factor.

Answer:

(3, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want the solution to the system ...

2x−3y=3
x=y+2

The second equation gives a nice expression for x, so we can use that in the first equation.

2(y+2) -3y = 3 . . . . substitute for x in the first equation

2y +4 -3y = 3 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

-y = -1 . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 4

y = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by -1

x = 1 +2 = 3 . . . . . . substitute for y in the second equation

The solution is (x, y) = (3, 1).
