2 x 12

3 x 8

4 x 6

Factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24.

How to find common factor?

To find the common factor, you need to list out the factors and if a factor which is the same number appears from both 16 and 24, it is known as a common factor.

Common factors of 16 and 24 are 1, 2, 4, 8. Since greatest common factor is the number which is a common factor but is the biggest number, the answer is 8.

The graph of a line passes through the points (0, -2) and (6.0). What is

9966 [12]

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{3}x-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is given in the form $y=mx+b$

Where

m is the slope with formula $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

and

b is the y-intercept [y axis cutting point of line]

Given the two points (0, -2) and (6,0),

x_1 = 0

y_1 = -2

x_2 = 6

y_2 = 0

Now, we find m using formula:

$m=\frac{0+2}{6-0}=\frac{1}{3}$

Now we have

$y=\frac{1}{3}x+b$

Finding b, we plug in any (x,y) point. Lets put (6,0) and find b:

$y=\frac{1}{3}x+b\\0=\frac{1}{3}(6)+b\\0=2+b\\b=-2$

Thus,

equation of line = $y=\frac{1}{3}x-2$

A merchant has coffee worth $20 a pound that she wishes to mix with 70 pounds of coffee worth $90 a pound to get a mixture that

Dvinal [7]

Let us start with assuming the amount of coffee worth $20 a pound to be "x" pounds.

Now she wants to mix "x" pounds of $20 coffee with 70 pounds of $90 coffee.

So the mixture would be (x + 70) pounds.

And the value of mixture would be = 20·x + (90)·(70) = (20x + 6300) dollars.

She want to sell this mixture at rate of $30 a pound. Her earning would be = 30·(x + 70) = (30x + 2100) dollars.

We know that the value of mixture would be equal to her earnings.

30x + 2100 = 20x + 6300

30x - 20x = 6300 - 2100

10x = 4200

x = 420

So, 420 pounds of $20 coffee would be used.
