Question

factor 35 + 49. write your answer in the form a(b + c) where a is the gcf of 35 and 49.

Explanation:

Step1: Find GCF of 35 and 49

Factors of 35: \(1, 5, 7, 35\)
Factors of 49: \(1, 7, 49\)
GCF is \(7\).

Step2: Divide each term by GCF

\(35 \div 7 = 5\), \(49 \div 7 = 7\)

Step3: Factor out GCF

\(35 + 49 = 7(5 + 7)\)

Answer:

\(7(5 + 7)\)
