<em>Comment on the GCF</em>
It can be useful to know Euclid's algorithm for finding the GCF:
- Determine the remainder from dividing the larger number by the smaller.
- If the remainder is zero, the smaller number is the GCF. If the remainder is non-zero, use it to replace the larger number and repeat from step 1.
For example, 126 mod 90 = 36; 90 mod 36 = 18; 36 mod 18 = 0, so 18 is the GCF of 126 and 90. (The modulo function 'mod' returns the remainder from division.)
Subtract 3y and move it to the right
X= 1 - 3Y
Answer: Original salary = $500
Step-by-step explanation: Tricia got a 6% raise on her weekly salary. The
raise was $30 per week.
Let x be the original salary
x times the raise percentage = raise amount
6%= 6/100=0.06, raise amount = 30
Now we solve for x
Divide by 0.06 on both sides
Original salary = $500
80 because 160 divided by 2 is 80 so 2 x 80
