Equation 1) x + 6y = 2
Equation 2) 5x + 4y = 36
Multiply all of equation 1 by 5.
1) 5(x + 6y = 2)
Simplify.
1) 5x + 30y = 10
2) 5x + 4y = 36
Subtract equations from one another.
26y = -26
Divide both sides by 26.
y = -1
Plug in -1 for y in the first equation.
x + 6y = 2
x + 6(-1) = 2
Simplify.
x - 6 = 2
Add 6 to both sides.
x = 8
D : (8, -1)

Turn each number into the product of it's prime factors.
32=16x2=2x2x2x2x2=2^5
48=24*2=6x4x2=2x3x2x2x2
Pick the highest number that occurs. In this case it is 2. Now we have to see how many times it appears in both. It appears 5 times in 32 and 4 times in 48. 4 is the highest number of times it appears in the numbers so:
2^4=2x2x2x2=16
The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 32 and 48 is 16.
