24 + 32 = _ (3 +4) Grid in the number that makes the equation below true.

Hey there!

24 + 32 = __?__ (3 + 4)

• SOLVING FOR THE LEFT SIDE OF THE EQUATION

24 + 32

= 56

• FIND THE GCF (Greatest Common Factor) OF THE NUMBERS TO SEE WHAT POSSIBLY GOES IN THE BLANK (also known as your result) OR THE EQUATION ON THE RIGHT SIDE

° 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, & 24

° 32: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, & 32

° LIKE TERMS: 1,2, 4, & 8

° GREATEST NUMBER: 8

° GCF: 8

• So, the number that goes in the blank is: 8

• TESTING TO SEE IS EQUIVALENT TO THE LEFT SIDE (THE EQUATION ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PROBLEM)

8(3 + 4)

= 8(3) + 8(4)

= 24 + 32

= 56

56 = 56, this statement is true because both numbers are equivalent to each other

Now that we have that information out of the way, we have your answer

8
