2/3(4x - 5) = 8...divide both sides by 2/3, eliminating the 2/3 on the left
4x - 5 = 8/(2/3)
4x - 5 = 8 * 3/2.. dividing with fractions, flip what u r dividing by, then multiply
4x - 5 = 12....add 5 to both sides, eliminating the 5 on the left
4x = 12 + 5
4x = 17 ...divide both sides by 4
x = 17/4 or 4 1/4

Priya and Han both factored the number 80. Priya says they should both get the same answer even if they started with different f
meriva

Answer:

Priya is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

The factors of 80 is 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80

The factor pairs of 80 are

1 x 80, 2 x 40, 4 x 20, 5 x 16 and 8 x 10

If Priya picks 2 x 40, then it's prime factorisation will be, 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 = 2⁴ x 5.

If Han picks, 5 x 16 = 5 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 5 x 2⁴ = 2⁴ x 5. This is the same.

Therefore, Priya is correct, because the factors of 80 are always the same, therefore which ever you start with, you'd always get the same answer.
