3x + 24 = (3)(x) + (3)(8)
You can see that there is multiplier 3 near x and 8. You can factor it and make
3x + 24 = 3(x + 8)
So, the answer is 3. Hope this helps!
the greatest common factor is 2
Hello, we know there are 12 inches in one foot, so in 12 feet, there are 144 inches.
The question is to find out how many times 1/4 is equal to 1 1/2
First lets convert the total:
1 1/2 = 2/2 + 1/2 = 3/2
now we need to find out a number that multiplied by 1/4 gives 3/2, that is an equation:
(1/4)x = 3/2
and solving for x:
x = (3/2)*4
x = 12/2
x = 6
therefore they will take 6 days to repave the whole street
