The greatest common factor is 2
This is because we start by taking the largest factor that goes into both coefficients. Since the first coefficient is 2, we have to try 2 and 1. Since 2 is larger and goes into 36 evenly, we use that.
Then we use the smallest number of each variable. There are 4 r's in both equations. So, that is the number that we take. There are 2 s's in the first term, so we take that number.
The equation should be
j = 30 + 3a
j + a = 210
Solving the equation
j + a = 210
(30 + 3a) + a = 210
30 + 4a = 210
4a = 180
a = 45
j = 30 + 3a
j = 30 + 3 × 45
j = 30 + 135
j = 165
Aiden's weight is 45 pounds, Jonathan's weight is 165 pounds
Answer:
f(x) + g(x) = (-2x + 8)+ 3x
f(x) + g(x) = -2x + 8 + 3x Combine like terms.
f(x) + g(x) = x + 8
f(x) + g(x) = (f+g)(x) = x + 8
(f + g)(-1) = -1 + 8
(f + g)(-1) = 7
