<u>Answer: </u>

The greatest common factor of 12 a^{3} b, 16 a^{2} b^{2}, 36 a b^{3} \text { is } 4 a b

<u>Solution: </u>

To find the greatest common factor we have to find the prime factors of individual numbers and then find the number which is common to each given number.

Here the numbers are 12 a^{3} b, 16 a^{2} b^{2}, 36 a b^{3}

Let us find out the prime factors of each number .

\begin{array}{l}{\text { Prime factors of } 12 a^{3} b=2 \times 2 \times 3 \times a \times a \times a \times b} \\ {\text { Prime factors of } 16 a^{2} b^{2}=2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times a \times a \times a \times b \times b} \\ {\text { Prime factors of } 36 a b^{3}=2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times a \times b \times b \times b}\end{array}

We can see that 2 \times 2 \times \mathrm{a} \times \mathrm{b}  is common to all the given numbers 12 a^{3} b, 16 a^{2} b^{2}, 36 a b^{3}

Therefore the greatest common factor of 12 a^{3} b, 16 a^{2} b^{2}, 36 a b^{3} \text { is } 2 \times 2 \times a \times b=4 a b

Please help me with math please, they are number lines

So u have to rearrange to find x again
You look at the equation and u can see that if u take away 14 from both sides it will leave u with:
X/-3<-2
Now as x is over - 3, the opposite of divide is multiply, so you multiply both sides by - 3.
This leaves you with your answer:
x<6

So the number line which represents this is C.
