Answer

12 (5 - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor is the largest number that will divide both numbers evenly. As an example, 6 is a common factor because it divides both 60 and 36. However, it is not the greatest common factor.

If I break 60 into it's prime factors, I would get 2 * 2 * 3 * 5.

If I break 36 into it's prime factors, I would get 2 * 2 * 3 * 3.

The two number have the factors, 2, 2, and 3 in common.

The greatest common factor is then: 2 * 2 * 3, or 12.

The expression can be factored as: 12 ( 5 - 3)

write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given kine and that passes through the given point. -x+5y=14;(-5, -2)

Inga [223]

X + 5y = 14
5y = -x + 14
y = -1/5x + 14/5.....the slope here is -1/5. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip the slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular slope will be 5. See how I flipped -1/5 making it -5/1...and then changed the sign, making it 5.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5
(-5,-2)....x = -5 and y = -2
now we sub and find b, the y int
-2 = 5(-5) + b
-2 = -25 + b
-2 + 25 = b
23 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = 5x + 23 <==

On a trip to his grandparents, Donny drove 60 miles per hour for 45 minutes and 50 miles per hour for 30 minutes. How many miles

LenaWriter [7]

Donny drove 70 miles.

Since 60 miles per hour is 1 mile a minute so for in 45 minutes he drove 45 miles. After he drove for 50 miles for thirty minutes so in totally he drove 25 since 50 divided by two is 25.
