Lets get an example, for this example lets use 24/30 x 30/60
Without dividing out GCFs you would get 24x12 over 30 x 60 which is 288/1800
With dividing out GCFs you get 2/1 x 5/1 Which is 7 :)
There are 151,200 possible combinations. If you'd like an explanation of my answer, please let me know.
Answer:
____________
the answer is B
___________
explanation
Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.
Group the first two terms and the last two terms.
(x^2 - 2x) - 3xy + 6y
Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group.
x(x - 2) - 3y (x - 2)
Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, x - 2
(x - 2) (x - 3y)
Answer:
Start by laying out 7 tiles, and then adding 3. Whatever that number of tiles is equals x.
x = 10
10 - 3 = 7
