Question

Tasha believes that she can rewrite the difference 120 - 36 as a product of the GCF of the 2 numbers and another difference. Is she correct?

Answer 1

Hello Ashermalik927. The answer is yes Tasha is correct.

So the difference of 120 - 36 = 84
Now we need to rewrite 84 as a product of the GCF of the 2 numbers and another difference.

GCF of 120 and 36 = 12
Factor 120 -36

`(120-36)/(12) =`
12(10-3) = 12 x 7 = 84
