monica wants to find the gcf of the terms of the polynomial p(x)=12x^3y+6y^2+18xy+24x. she sees that each term is divisible by 3.she factors the polynomial as follows: 3x(4x^2y+2y^2+6y+8
did monica correctly factor out the gfc? why or why not?

No, Monica did not correctly factor out the GCF

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

The prime factorization of each term are:

The greatest common factor is the product of the least powers of the common factors.

The greatest common factor is 6.

If we factor the GCF, we obtain:

Therefore Monica did not correctly factor out the GCF

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

x= cost per bracelet

number of bracelets * x + shipping charge = total cost

so

9x+9=72
