Rewrite using the distributive property and gcf 16 + 40

The GCF of 16 and 40 is 8.

16/8 = 2

40/8 = 5

We can rewrite this using the distribute property like so:

Using the distributive property:

16 + 40

16 + 40 = 56

We can also add inside the parentheses and multiply and we'll get the same answer.

8(7)

56

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
