Because the needed numbers are consecutive their average will be the middle number. Knowing this, just divide 72 by three, which would equal 24. 24 would be the middle number so, 23+24+25=72. The smallest of these is 23.

72:3=24
24-1=23
24+1=25

23+24+25=72
23 is the smallest

Tamara says she used the GCF to factor the expression 21x + 56xy as 7(3x + 8xy). Is she correct? Explain.
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Tamara  incorrectly factored the whole expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that

  • 21x=3·7·x;
  • 56xy=2·2·2·7·x·y.

Mark in bold all common factors, then GCF(21x,56xy)=7·x=7x.

Thus,

21x+56xy=7x(3+8y).

Hence, Tamara correctly found the GCF of numbers 21 and 56, but incorrectly factored the whole expression.
