Greatest Common Factors (GCF) can help you in real life problems with fractions and measuring things. Below is a real life example.

Let's say you want to send cookies into one of two classes and want to make sure you have an even number per student. You know that one class has 8 students and the other has 10 students. How many cookies do you make?

Answer: All you have to do is figure out the biggest number that goes into each number equally (division). In this case the answer would be 2.

Please solve equation<br> -3x2+243=0

Illusion [34]

Answer is 9.

-3x^2 + 243 = 0
Bring 243 to the right.
-3x^2 = -243
Divide by -3.
x^2 = 243/3 = 81
Tak the square root of both sides.
x = 81^1/2 = 9.

MARKING BRAINLIEST!!!<br><br> PLZ answer BOTH questions!!

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

12) C

13) AT = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

12)

Data

A (6, -3)

B (-6, 19)

midx = (x1 + x2) / 2 midy = (y1 ´y2) / 2

midx = ( 6 - 6) / 2 midy = (-3 + 19) / 2

midx = 0 / 2 midy = 16 / 2

midx = 0 midy = 8

mid point = (0, 8)

13)

As A is the midpoint of CT then CA = AT

2x - 19 = x + 5

2x - x = 19 + 5

x = 24

AT = 24 + 5

AT = 29

Purple flower color is dominant to white flower color. If pure-breeding purple flowering plants are crossed with pure-breeding w

Kruka [31]

Answer:

The phenotypic ratio of the offspring will be 100% of purple flowers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mendel's first law states that if two pure lines are crossed for a given character, the descendants of the first generation will all be equal to each other, phenotypically and genotypically, and phenotypically equal to one of the parents (of dominant genotype).

The Punnett square is a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment.

We represent the possibilities of hybridization using a Punnett square in the attached picture.

Uppercase letters represent dominant alleles and lowercase letters represent recessive alleles.

Homozygous individuals have the same pair of alleles. (AA, aa)

We can verify that all offspring have a dominant allele, therefore all offspring will have purple flowers.
