Answer:
- x = 4
- [tex]2^2*3*7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we add 16 and 28 [tex]16+28=44[/tex]
Now we have to solve for x
We know we have to do parenthesis first so [tex](4+7)=11[/tex]
[tex]44=x(11)[/tex]
Then we divided both sides by 11
[tex]\frac{44}{11} =\frac{11x}{11}[/tex]
[tex]x=4[/tex]
To find the Prime Factorisation of 84 we have to divide 84 by the smallest prime number which is 2
So [tex]\frac{84}{2} = 42[/tex]
Since 42 is an even number we can still divide it by 2
So [tex]\frac{42}{2} = 21[/tex]
Now we can divide 21 by the 2nd smallest prime number which is 3
So [tex]\frac{21}{3} = 7[/tex]
So the prime factors of 84 would be [tex]2*2*3*7[/tex] or [tex]2^2*3*7[/tex]
