Answer:
The greatest common factor is 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The factors of 4 are: 1, 2, 4
The factors of 6 are: 1, 2, 3, 6
The factors of 45 are: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45
Then the greatest common factor is 1.
Answer: −(b+4)(2b−3)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Factor out the negative sign.
−(2b^2+5b−12)
2. Split the second term in 2b^2+5b−12 into two terms.
−(2b^2+8b−3b−12)
3.Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.
−(2b(b+4)−3(b+4))
4. Factor out the common term b+4b+4b+4.
−(b+4)(2b−3)

Answer:
$2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks for the total cost of a notebook and pen together. We don't need to find their individual costs in order to answer the question.
Sometimes we get bored solving systems of equations in the usual ways. For this question, let's try this.
The first equation has one more notebook than pens. The second equation has 4 more notebooks than pens. If we subtract 4 times the first equation from the second, we should have equal numbers of notebooks and pens.
(8n +4p) -4(3n +2p) = (16.00) -4(6.50)
-4n -4p = -10.00 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
n + p = -10.00/-4 = 2.50 . . . . divide by the coefficient of (n+p)
The total cost for one notebook and one pen is $2.50.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The first equation has 1 more notebook than 2 (n+p) combinations, telling us that a notebook costs $6.50 -2(2.50) = $1.50. Then the pen is $2.50 -1.50 = $1.00.
One could solve for the costs of a notebook (n) and a pen (p) individually, then add them together to answer the question. We judge that to be more work.
