Write a number as prime factors means to write the number as a product of numbers, all of which are prime. We start by checking whether the number is divisible by prime numbers, starting from the smallest prime number,2.
let's divide 24 into its factors.
first, it's even, so it must divide by 2
24=2*12
12 is also even, so it must divide by 2:
24=2*12=2*2*6
6 is also even, so it must divide by 2:
24=2*12=2*2*6=2*2*2*3
3 is not even, but it's a prime number.
so the solution is
2*2*2*3
C. Jasmine bought some tiles to put around her patio. . .
They asked for area which is always L x W, which was the give away.
The answer to your question is: Yes, someone undoubtedly can.
Although you haven't asked to be told or shown how to solve it, I'm here
already, so I may as well stick around and go through it with you.
The sheet is telling you to find the solutions to two equations, AND THEN
DO SOMETHING WITH THE TWO SOLUTIONS. But you've cut off the
instructions in the pictures, so all we have are the two equations, and
you'll have to figure out what to do with their solutions.
<u>First equation:</u>
(2/5) x - 6 = -2
Add 6 to each side:
(2/5) x = 4
Multiply each side by 5:
2x = 20
Divide each side by 2 :
<u>x = 10</u>
<u>Second equation:</u>
-3y + 1/4 = 13/4
Subtract 1/4 from each side:
-3y = 12/4
Multiply each side by 4 :
-12 y = 12
Divide each side by -12 :
<u> y = -1</u>
it is 3 because if it has infinte solutions than it is = to 0 and 1 and infinite solutions
B, 8 to 11 because general number of marbles is 8+3=11 and only 8 of all are white)
