1279???
Because the gcf does not leave any remainders behind. The gcf could be 1280, but that would not leave a remainder behind if you divided 1280 by 1280. So, I think it is 1279, but i am probably wrong
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
8
Discussion:
Let the number be "n". Then the question states that
3n - 15 = (n/2) + 5 => multiply both sides by 2
6n - 30 = n + 10 => subtract n from both sides
5n - 30 = 10 => add 30 to both sides
5n = 30 + 10 = 40 => divide both sides by 5
n = 40/5 = 8
Thank you,

We have a triangle whose perimeter is 32 feet. Some information regarding the sides of the triangle is given:
GiveN:
- One side is 3 times the second side.
- Third side is 12 feet longer than the second side.
As we can see that, two sides of the triangle are defined the second sides. It means First and third side can be expressed in the form of second side.
- So let the second side be x
Then,
- First side = 3x
- And, third side = x + 12
We know that, perimeters is the sum of the lengths of all sides of the triangle, So it can be written as:

Solving it further,

Subtracting 12 from both sides,


Dividing 5 from both sides,


Then,
- First side = 3x = 12 feet
- Second side = 4 feet
- Third side = x + 12 = 16 feet
And we are done with the answer !!
