So we are looking for the GCF which is the largest factor that the two numbers have in common, so you would want to circle all of the number that the two have in common. So it would be 2 twos and 2 X's (2,2,x,x). Which is the most numbers that the two have in common.
Answer:
Sydney is 44 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Make a system of equations
</u>
d = s - 15
<em>d + s = 73
</em>
<u>Step 2: Plug in s - 15 for d in the second equation and solve
</u>
s - 15 + s = 73
2s - 15 = 73 + 15
2s / 2= 88 / 2
<em>s = 44
</em>
