First you need to factor the problems by using a couple of different methods, but the easiest could be the factor tree:
for example with 4-6a
you would put 4 = 2•2 so 2 is it’s GCF
and 6= 3•2 so 3 is it’s GCF
however the question is asking for the combined GCF (meaning the whole problem)
so 4-6a’s GCF would be 2 considering it is the only greatest common factor between BOTH numbers
for 12a^2 - 8a you would use the same method:
12a^2= 3a•2a•2 and 3a is it’s GCF
8a = 2•2•2a and 2a is it’s GCF
but combined, the greatest factor BOTH numbers have in common is 2a, so 2a is the answer!
i hope i helped you :)!❤️
Question:
Expand and simplify 5(x - 1) - 3(x + 4)
Answer:
1.) Use the distributive property to solve this equation:
5(x - 1) = 5x - 5
3(x + 4) = 3x + 12
2.) Put it in the equation:
5x - 5 - 3x + 12
3.) Group them:
5x - 3x - 5 + 12
4.) Simplify:
2x - 7
which is the answer.
Hope this helped! :))
$0.75, because she only went over once in January, and twice in February. March was 55 and April was 51. So .25+.50=.75
