The greatest number in the plot is 66, and the least number is 19. If you subtract 19 from 66, the answer is 47.
(7t-2) - (-3t+1) = -3*(1-3t)
First distribute:
7t-2+3t-1 = -3+9t
Now get all the terms with 't' on the same side by subtracting/adding:
7t+3t-9t = -3+2+1
Combine the terms:
1t=0
t=0
Check:
Plug in 0 for t and see if both sides of the equation come out the same:
Does (7(0)-2) - (-3(0)+1) = -3(1-3(0)) ?
(-2) - (1) = -3(1) ?
-3 = -3 ?
Yes! It works, so t=0!
Factor 8 out of 16x^2 - 24x +8
8 is the GFC
Factor the following:
16 x^2 - 24 x + 8
Factor 8 out of 16 x^2 - 24 x + 8:
8 (2 x^2 - 3 x + 1)
Factor the quadratic 2 x^2 - 3 x + 1.
The coefficient of x^2 is 2 and the constant term is 1.
The product of 2 and 1 is 2.
The factors of 2 which sum to -3 are -1 and -2.
So 2 x^2 - 3 x + 1 = 2 x^2 - 2 x - x + 1 = -(2 x - 1) + x (2 x - 1):
8 x (2 x - 1) - (2 x - 1)
Factor 2 x - 1 from x (2 x - 1) - (2 x - 1):
<span>Answer: 8 (2 x - 1) (x - 1)</span>
