So use undistributive properyt]
ab+ac=a(b+c)
so factor 24a dadn 28 to find 'a' the common factor
24=2 times 2 times 2 times 3 tiems a
28=2 times 2 times 7
common one is 2 itmes 2=4
a=4
4(2 times3 times a)+4(7)=4(6a)+4(7)=4(6a+7)
Answer:
the answer is c
Step-by-step explanation:
1 people eat 3/8 pound of potato salad lets reoresent it：
x=3/8
Lets say n is the value of how many people ate with 7 people
7x=n
now substitute
7x=n
7(3/8)=n
21/8=n
n=2 5/8
3x+y=17
=> 3x=17-y
Again, x+3y=-1
=> 3y= -1-x
now, 3x+3y= (17-y)+(-1-x)
= 17-y-1-x
= 16-x-y
