Answer: Hi!

To solve this, find the GCM (greatest common multiple) of 15 and 24.

We can do this by finding the prime factorization.

15/3 = 5

3·5

24/2 = 12

12/2 = 6

6/2 = 3

2·2·2·3 Both prime factorizations have the number 3 in common. So the GCM is 3.

Divide both numbers by 3.

15n/3 = 5n

-24/3 = -8

Since the GCM is 3, 3 goes outside the parentheses.

The numbers that go inside the parentheses are 5n-8

The answer is 3(5n-8)

You can check your answer by using the distribution property.

3·5n = 15n

3·(-8) = -24

15n-24

Hope this helps!

Which is a solution for 7 (x + 2) = 35? A. -2 B. 7/33 C. 3 D. 5 E. 26

enot [183]

7(x+2) = 35

Use the distributive property:

7x + 14 = 35

Subtract 14 from each side:

7x = 21

Divide both sides by 7:

x = 21 / 7

X = 3

The answer is C. 3

What is the value for X?

Luda [366]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 4 + 73 + 73 = 180

6x + 150 = 180

6x = 30

x = 5

Those little marks on AB and BC denote congruence. That makes the triangle isoceles. That means the base angles are equal. Both 73.

Triangle Sum Theory states all angles of a triangle add to 180.
