Which expression is equivalent to 15n−24?

1 answer:

6 0

Hi!

To solve this, find the GCM (greatest common multiple) of 15 and 24.

We can do this by finding the prime factorization.

15/3 = 5
3·5

24/2 = 12
12/2 = 6
6/2 = 3
2·2·2·3

Both prime factorizations have the number 3 in common. So the GCM is 3.

Divide both numbers by 3.
15n/3 = 5n
-24/3 = -8

Since the GCM is 3, 3 goes outside the parentheses.

The numbers that go inside the parentheses are 5n-8

The answer is 3(5n-8)

You can check your answer by using the distribution property.
3·5n = 15n
3·(-8) = -24
15n-24

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Part A: -100x2 + 15,750x − 31,100 ≥0

Part B: 2x2-315x+622 ≤0

Part C: (2x-311)(x-2) ≤0

Part D:2 ≤ x ≤ 155.5

Part E: We know x = number of $2 increases. So, from the compound inequality, 2 ≤ x ≤ 155.5, we can conclude that the minimum possible value of x is 2.

Part F: 29
