Step-by-step explanation:
<h3><u>Question 6</u></h3>To find the greatest common factor (GCF), first list the prime factors of each number:
- 42 = 2 × 3 × 7
- 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
42 and 60 share one 2 and one 3 in common.
Multiply them together to get the GCF: 2 × 3 = 6.
Therefore, 6 is the GCF of 42 and 60.
Divide the numerator and the denominator by the found GCF:
To find the greatest common factor (GCF), first list the prime factors of each number:
- 80 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
- 272 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 17
80 and 272 share four 2s in common.
Multiply them together to get the GCF: 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16.
Therefore, 16 is the GCF of 80 and 272.
Divide the numerator and the denominator by the found GCF:
<u>Let's solve this problem step-by-step</u>
<u>Let's set</u>:
2x + 6y = 36 -- equation 1
x + 4y = 20 -- equation 2
(equation 2) * 2
2x + 8y = 40 -- equation 3
(equation 3) - (equation 1)
2y = 4
y = 2 -- equation 4
Plug (equation 4)'s value of y into (equation 2)
x + 4(2) = 20
x = 20 - 8
x = 12
<u>Thus x = 12 and y = 2</u>
<u>Let's check, by substituting these values</u>
<u>Answer: x = 12 and y = 2</u>
Hope that helps!
