Answer:
<em>2(15+8)</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression 30+16
We are to use GCF to rewrite the sum as a product.
Get the factor of each value first as shown;
30 = 2 * 15
16 = 2 * 8
substitute the factors back into the expression:
30+16 = (2*15)+(2*8)
Since 2 is common to both terms, then:
30+16 = 2(15+8)
<em></em>
<em>Hence the required sum of product of the terms is 2(15+8)</em>
Answer:
scale factor : 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
56/16=3.5
Answer: <u>4 pounds</u> of brand X sugar
====================================================
Reason:
n = number of pounds of brand X sugar
5n = cost of buying those n pounds, at $5 per pound
Brand Y costs $2 per pound, and you buy 8 lbs of it, so that's another 2*8 = 16 dollars.
5n+16 = total cost of brand X and brand Y combined
n+8 = total amount of sugar bought, in pounds
3(n+8) = total cost because we buy n+8 pounds at $3 per pound
The 5n+16 and 3(n+8) represent the same total cost.
Set them equal to each other. Solve for n.
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5n+16 = 3n+24
5n-3n = 24-16
2n = 8
n = 8/2
n = 4 pounds of brand X sugar are needed
-------------
Check:
n = 4
5n = 5*4 = 20 dollars spent on brand X alone
16 dollars spent on brand Y mentioned earlier
20+16 = 36 dollars spent total
n+8 = 4+8 = 12 pounds of both types of sugar brands combined
3*12 = 36 dollars spent on both types of sugar brands
The answer is confirmed.
--------------
Another way to verify:
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5*4+16 = 3(4+8)
20+16 = 3(12)
36 = 36
