Division because if you divide the two functions together, you keep the 3 in the x term. If you add the two functions, your coefficient is 6. If you subtract, the x term is eliminated. If you multiply, you'll get 9x.
3 is smaller than 6 or 9 :)
The gcf of both is 11 so it would be 9+4q
S= number of small boxes
l= number of large boxes
equation 1: s+l=120
equation 2: 15s+45l=3300
solve by elimination, multiply equation 1 by -15.
-15(s+l=120) = -15s-15l=-1800 add to equation 2.
-15s+15s-15l+45l=-1800+3300 = 30l=1500
30l=1500 , l=50
s+l=120, s+50=120 --> s=70
Answer: 18
<u>Do Keep Change Flip (KCF)</u>
Keep: 9/2
Change: ÷ into ×
Flip: 1/4 into 4/1
Your new problem should be 9/2×4/1
<u>Multiply</u>
9/2×4/1=36/2
36/2=18
Final Answer: 18
