The first step when factoring any polynomial is to factor out the GCF. The GCF is the greatest common factor for all the terms of the polynomial. By factoring out the GCF first, the coefficients and constant term of the polynomial will be reduced.

timurjin [86]
First,, you would take the 56 two pointers the team made and multiply 56 by 2 to find out how many actual points the team made with just the 2 pointers
56 x 2 = 112
Then,, you will subtract 112 from 146 to see how many points are left 
146 - 112 = 34
That shows that 112 of the points came from 2 pointers and 34 came from 3 pointers :)

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Hello There!!

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is=>The sum is x + y = 65

The difference is x - y = 7 .....x = 7 + y

7 + y + y = 65

7 + 2y = 65

2y = 58

y = 29

x + y = 65

x + 29 = 65

X = 36

The Sum: 36 + 29 = 65

The Difference: 36 - 29 = 7

hope this helps,have a great day!!
