Solving Equations

n-36=17

the first step is to find out the opposite operation.
in this case it would be addition.

next you would find the sum of n-36=17

so you need to add to 36 to both sides.

so 36+36 crosses out. then 36 + 17 +53. 

so then 53-36=17
n=53

GCF(Greatest Common Factor) and Factors

The GCF Is the greatest factor shared by the numbers in your data set.

EXAMPLE
So lets say the numbers you have are 15 and 30.
The factors of 15 and 30 are......
15:1,3,5,15
30: 1,2,3,10,15,30
so the GCF would be 15 because that's the greatest number that goes into 15 and 30.

A

EXPONENTS

An exponent stands for however many times you are multiplying the number. The number that is being multiplied is called the base. You take the number and multiply it by itself however many times the number is being raised too.

For example (5)(5) = 5^2

You would you use exponents in your life in collage in high school. You have to use them with calculus and pre calculus
