Using the Distributive Property, rewrite
2x + 16 as a product of two factors.
A. 2x + 8
B. 2(16x)
C. 2(x + 8)
D. 2(x + 16)
I chose C. but can someone correct me if im wrong
correct
To rewrite 2x + 16 as a product of two factors using the Distributive Property, we need to find a common factor of both terms and factor it out.
In this case, the common factor of 2x and 16 is 2. We can factor out 2 from both terms:
2x + 16 = 2(x + 8)
So, your choice C is correct. Well done!
