Find the complete factorization of the expression.
48x + 56xy
I think it be d.
A) 8x(6 + 7y)
B) 8x(7 + 6y)
C) 8xy(6 + 7)
D) 8xy(13)
Its A for sure
I think it is a as well
Cannot be D, since that is 104xy
You are correct to factor out the 8, but other than that, what else do the two terms have in common?
To find the complete factorization of the expression 48x + 56xy, we need to factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from both terms.
First, let's determine the GCF of the two terms: 48x and 56xy. The GCF is the largest number or term that divides evenly into both terms.
The GCF of 48x and 56xy is 8x because it is the largest factor that both terms share.
Now, let's factor out 8x from both terms:
48x + 56xy = 8x(6 + 7y)
So, the complete factorization of the expression 48x + 56xy is option A) 8x(6 + 7y).
Note: Option D) 8xy(13) is incorrect because it does not factor out the common factor of 8x from both terms.
