Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's see what makes 12x^5.

3·2·2·x·x·x·x·x

And for 8x^3...

2·2·2·x·x·x

We see that both of these have two 2s and 3 xs, so our GCF is 2·2·x·x·x which is 4x^3.

Have a wonderful day! :D

I have and a math test in an hour and a half. It’s about algebraic word problems. Can someone help me. I’m really struggling in

Hello,

First of all, relax and take a deep breath right before you start.

Alright, so algebraic word problems are tricky sometimes. I am glad I don’t have to do them much. Once you understand more or less what to do, you should be fine!

I would need an example problem if you have one.

If not, then remember that you have to work with what you know, which is what you can start with and what you need to end with.

For instance, a phone company sells phones at $900 each. For a family discount, after 2 phones are bought, each additional phone is $100 off.
Find an expression representing the phone company’s prices.
2*900 + (900x - 100x)

x represents how many additional phones were bought.

If a family bought 6 phones:
2*900 + (900x - 100x)
2 in front and 4 as x gives 6
That expression becomes

2*900 + [900(4) - 100(4)]
= $5000

I hope that helped!

Let x= # pages Liam read
x + (x+17) = 265
2x + 17 = 265
-17. -17
2x=248
