Find the GCF of 30m + 12n .(1 point)
The GCF of 30m and 12n is 6.
Factor 8a − 28 using the GCF.(1 point)
The GCF of 8a and 28 is 4. To factor out the GCF, we divide each term by the GCF:
8a ÷ 4 = 2a
-28 ÷ 4 = -7
Therefore, the factored form of 8a - 28 is 4(2a - 7).
Add: 5(0.5k−1)+2(0.4−k) . Answer should be in decimal form.(1 point)
To solve this expression, we distribute the coefficients to each term inside the parentheses:
5(0.5k - 1) = 2.5k - 5
2(0.4 - k) = 0.8 - 2k
Now, we can combine like terms by adding the coefficients of similar terms:
2.5k - 5 + 0.8 - 2k = 0.5k - 4.2
The final answer in decimal form is 0.5k - 4.2.
Subtract 1/2(z+4)−3(1/4z+1) . Use fractions in final form.(1 point)
To subtract fractions, we must first find a common denominator. In this problem, the least common denominator (LCD) is 4.
1/2(z + 4) = (2/4)(z + 4) = 2z/4 + 8/4 = z/2 + 2
3(1/4z + 1) = 3(1/4)(z + 4) = 3z/4 + 12/4 = 3z/4 + 3
Now we can subtract the fractions:
(z/2 + 2) - (3z/4 + 3) = z/2 + 2 - 3z/4 - 3
To combine like terms, we need to have a common denominator of 4:
(z/2) + 2 - (3z/4) - 3 = (2z/4) + 8/4 - (3z/4) - 12/4
Now we can subtract the numerators:
(2z/4 - 3z/4) + (8/4 - 12/4) = (-z/4) + (-4/4) = -z/4 - 1
The final answer in fractional form is -z/4 - 1.

Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. Let's re-evaluate the subtraction of the given fractions.
1/2(z + 4) - 3(1/4z + 1)
First, we simplify within the parentheses:
1/2(z + 4) = 1/2 * z + 1/2 * 4 = z/2 + 2/2 = z/2 + 1
3(1/4z + 1) = 3 * 1/4z + 3 * 1 = 3/4z + 3
Now, we subtract the fractions:
(z/2 + 1) - (3/4z + 3)
To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. The LCD in this case is 2z.
[(z(2z) + 1(2z)) - (3z + 3(2z))]/(2z)
Simplifying:
(2z^2 + 2z - 3z - 6z)/2z = (2z^2 - 7z)/2z
Therefore, the final answer in fractional form is (2z^2 - 7z)/2z.
