Answer:

After 5.6 weeks they will have the same number of comic books.

Number of books = 61

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom currently has 5 comic books in his collection and has subscribed to receive 5 new comic books each month.

Again, his uncle has 145 comic books but sends five to each of his 3 nieces each month.

As Tom is one of his nieces so, in every week the collection of tom gets increases by (5 + 5) = 10

Therefore, after w weeks tom's collection will have C₁ = 5 + 10w ......... (1)

And Tom's uncle will have after w weeks C₂ = 145 - 15w ............ (2) comic books in his collection.

If C₁ = C₂ , then  

5 + 10w = 145 - 15w

⇒ 25w = 140

⇒ w = 5.6 weeks.  

Therefore, after 5.6 weeks they will have the same number of comic books. (Answer)

And the number of books it will be  

C = 5 + 10 × 5.6 = 61. (Answer)

Roman55 [17]

Answer:  7(3m - 7n)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Factor each term then see what value(s) they have in common:

          21m         -          49n

            ∧                        ∧

          3 · 7 · m              7 · 7 · n

Both terms have a 7 in common.  What is left over after removing the 7?

21m: 7(3m)

49n: 7(7n)

GCF: 7           Leftovers: 3m <em>and</em>  7n

Factored form of expression is: 7(3m - 7n)
