Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor. 24+32p =

8(4p + 3)

Step-by-step explanation: Let's first rewrite this as 32p + 24.

If you're asked to factor a polynomial, the first thing you want to look for is the greatest common factor between the terms that are involved.

So what is the greatest common factor between 32p and 24?

Well if you use a factor tree, you'll figure out that the greatest common factor between 32p and 24 is 8.

What that means is that 2 factors out of this polynomial and what you're left with is each of these terms divided by the number that factors out.

In other words 32p divided by 8 or 4p and 24 divided by 8 which is 3.

So your answer is 8(4p + 3) and that is a factored version of 24 + 32p.

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
