-10v^9+8v^6+2v^5

10=5*2
8=2^3
2=2

The common factor is 2 and its least exponent is 1
The least exponent for the variable v is 5

Then, the GFC of the polynomial is 2v^5

Factoring:
2v^5 [ -(10v^9)/(2v^5)+(8v^6)/(2v^5)+(2v^5)/(2v^5) ] =
2v^5 (-5v^(9-5)+4v^(6-5)+1) =
2v^5 (-5v^4+4v+1)

LiRa [457]

Answer: 3000 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Chris and Josh have 1800 stamps

Josh and Jessica have 2200 stamps

Jessica and Chris have 2000 stamps

Suppose Chris, Josh, and Jessica have $x,y, \text{and}\ z$ stamps

$\therefore x+y=1800\quad \ldots(i)\\\Rightarrow y+z=2200\quad \ldots(ii)\\\Rightarrow z+x=2000\quad \ldots(iii)\\\text{Add (i), (ii), and (iii)}\\\Rightarrow 2(x+y+z)=1800+2200+2000\\\Rightarrow x+y+z=3000$
