Factor 60x−84 using the GCF.

1 answer:

6 0

First, we need to find the GCF (greatest common factor) of each of the number.
1. List out the prime factors of each of them.
2. Multiply the prime factors that the two numbers have in common
60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
84 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 7
The common factors are: 2 and 3
GCF = 2 × 2 ×3
GCF = 12
Factor out 12 from the equation
12(5x - 7)

We have a triangle whose perimeter is 32 feet. Some information regarding the sides of the triangle is given:

GiveN:

One side is 3 times the second side.
Third side is 12 feet longer than the second side.

As we can see that, two sides of the triangle are defined the second sides. It means First and third side can be expressed in the form of second side.
