Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation: To find the greatest common factor or GCF of 8 and 18, we begin by finding all of the factors of each number.

To find the factors of 8, we know that 8 ÷ 1 is 8 so 1 and 8 are factors.

8 ÷ 2 is 4 so 2 and 4 are factors.

However, if we continue to divide 8 by 3, 4, 5, and so on, we won't find any new factors. So the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.

Now let's find the factors of 18.

18 ÷ 1 is 18 so 1 and 18 are factors.

18 ÷ 2 is 9 so 2 and 9 are factors.

18 ÷ 3 is 6 so 3 and 6 are factors.

However, if we continue to divide by 4, 5, 6, and so on, we won't find any new factors. So the factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18.

Now that we have our list of factors, to find the greatest common factor, we simply find the largest number that is shared by the two lists.

Notice that our lists share a 1 but the largest number they share is a <em>2</em><em>.</em>

<em />

So the greatest common factor or <em>gcf</em> of 8 and 18 is 2.

Answer=I

15(x+3)+11x    represents the total cost

To solve for this, let's look at the information that we know...

26 students go on the trip

15 students pay $3 more for an additional class (x+3)

26-15=11

11students pay, x, the price of the trip.

So 15(x+3) represents the 15 students who pay for both the trip and the automotive class, and 11x represents the students who simply just pay for the cost of the trip.

Thus, 15(x+3)+11x represents the scenario

A=2x+6xz <br> a=2x+6xz<br> for x
Dennis_Churaev [7]
So I guess we are solving for x here :)
So here is my work...
a=2x+6xz
Basically I think it would be
a=6xz+2x

WAIT WAIT NO I'M WRONG FORGIVE ME!

It's  x=a/2(1+3z)
