OpenStudy (campbell_st):

?(3 + 14) =

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

no... what number is represented by ? 12 + 56 = ?(3 + 14)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

that's correct... ? represents the GCF... do you know what it might be...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you walk me through it

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so look at it this way ? x 3 = 12 and ? x 14 = 56 that is the GCF

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 times 3=12 and 4 times 14=56

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@campbell_st

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so you can write as 4(3 + 14)

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so this becomes 4 x 17 = 68

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 68
