2x + 10...the common number between these 2 terms is 2...so factor the 2 out
2(x + 5) <==
With these, always write out the multiples first.
Start like this:
(assume one of the factors is negative)
1 and 1120
2 and 560
4 and 280
5 and 224
7 and 160
8 and 140
10 and 112
14 and 80
16 and 70
20 and 56
28 and 40
32 and 35
from those, the obvious choice is the one with a difference of three. In this case, 32 and 35, because -32 + 35 equals 3.
Let's assign a variable x to the number of multiples for each pound of dry mix and water. With that being the said, the question for finding the total pounds would be:
Total pounds = x*Pounds of dry mix + x*Pounds of water
Total pounds = 60x + 8x = 68x = 14 + 1/6 = 85/6
x = 85/6 / 68
x = 5/24
Thus, the pounds of dry mix is 60*5/24 = 25/2 lbs, while the pounds of water is 8*5/24 = 5/3 pounds.
The best type of mortgage for her would be a fixed rate mortgage, because it would tell her exactly how much she is paying each month
I would assume 1/5 is your answer. As 1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5 = 5/5 which is 1.
