Answer:
The GCF of 42 and 60 is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
42: 1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42
60: 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60
The number of doughnuts in bags is 4 times the number of bags of doughnuts. So the number in B bags of doughnuts will be
... 4B
The number of doughnuts in cartons is 10 times the number of cartons of doughnuts, so the number in C cartons will be
... 10C
The total number of doughnuts (T) is the sum of those in bags and those in cartons:
... T = 4B +10C
To ease your problem, consider "L" as you x-axis
Then the coordinate become:
A(- 4 , 3) and B(1 , 2) [you notice that just the y's changed]
This is a reflection problem.
Reflect point B across the river line "L" to get B', symmetric of B about L.
The coordinates of B'(1 , -1) [remember L is our new x-axis]
JOIN A to B' . AB' intersect L, say in H
We have to find the shortest way such that AH + HB = shortest.
But HB = HB' (symmetry about L) , then I can write instead of
AH + HB →→ AH + HB'. This is the shortest since the shortest distance between 2 points is the straight line and H is the point requiered
X would equal -3. 5x-3 would equal -15, and 2 negatives would equal a positive. So, -15+3 would equal -12.
