Find the greatest common factor of the terms in the following expression 18x+12xy​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anarel [89]3 years ago

<h3>Answer:   6x</h3>

=============================================

Explanation:

Ignoring the variables for now, the GCF of 18 and 12 is 6. This is the largest factor found in both values

  • 18 = 6*3
  • 12 = 6*2

Now let's consider the variables. Both terms have an 'x' in them, but not a y. This means x will be tacked on the 6 we found earlier to get the overall GCF to be 6x.

Note how

18x + 12xy = 6x*3+6x*2y = 6x(3+2y)

Showing we can factor out the GCF using the distributive property.

The cost of 4 cookies, 6 doughnuts, and 3 boxes of doughnut holes is $8.15. The cost of 2 cookies, 3 doughnuts, and 4 boxes of d
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

$1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

This can best be determined using a set of linear equations that are solved simultaneously.

This pair of linear equations may be solved simultaneously by using the elimination method. This will involve ensuring that the coefficient of one of the unknown variables is the same in both equations.

Let the cost of a cookie be c, cost of a doughnut be d and that of a box of doughnut hole be h then if cost of 4 cookies, 6 doughnuts, and 3 boxes of doughnut holes is $8.15, we have

4a + 6d + 3h = 8.15

and the cost of 2 cookies, 3 doughnuts, and 4 boxes of doughnuts holes is $7.20 then

2a + 3d + 4h = 7.20

Dividing the first by 2

2a + 3d + 1.5h = 4.075

subtracting from the second equation

2.5h = 3.125

h = 1.25

The cost of a box of doughnut holes is $1.25

Harry buys a TV priced at £1200 plus 20% VAT.
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

£ 114

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Price of TV = £ 1200

VAT = 20%

Amount paid = £ 300

Amount paid monthly =.?

Next, we shall determine the VAT. This can be obtained as follow:

VAT = 20% of price of TV

VAT = 20/100 × 1200

VAT = £ 240

Next, we shall determine the total cost of the TV. This can be obtained as follow:

Price of TV = £ 1200

VAT = £ 240

Total cost of TV =?

Total cost = Price + VAT

Total cost = 1200 + 240

Total cost = £ 1440

Next, we shall determine the balance amount he needs to pay. This can be obtained as follow:

Total cost = £ 1440

Amount paid = £ 300

Balance amount =?

Balance = Total cost – Amount paid

Balance = 1440 – 300

Balance = £ 1140

Finally, we shall determine the amount Harry will pay month.

Balance Amount = £ 1140

Number of months = 10

Amount paid monthly =.?

Amount paid monthly = Balance / number of month

Amount paid monthly = 1140 / 10

Amount paid monthly = £ 114

Therefore, Harry will pay £ 114 monthly.
