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.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

$5.60

Step-by-step explanation:

interest = 3.5% = 3.5 ÷ 100 = 0.035

So 3.5% of $400 = 0.035 x 400 = $14

If Jonah spend 3/5 of the interest, then he gives his brother 2/5 of the interest each year.

2/5 of $14 = 2/5 x 14 = $5.60
