To factor using the reverse of the distributive property, find what common factor the numbers have and what common factor the variables have.

10.

-8x - 16

8 is a factor of both -8 and 16.
The first term has x, but the second term does not, so there is no common variable. The only common factor is 8, or -8.

Factor out a -8:

-8x - 16 = -8(x + 2)

To see if the factorization is correct, multiply the answer using the distributive property. If you get the original expression, then the factorization is correct.

11.

w^2 - 4w

The first term only has a factor of 1. The second term has a 4. There is no common factor between 1 and 4 except for 1, so there is no number you can factor out. The first term has w^2. The second term has w. Both terms have a common factor of w. We can factor out w from both terms.

w^2 - 4w = w(w - 4)

12.

4s + 10rs

4 and 10 have a common factor of 2.
s and rs have a common factor of s.
2 times s is 2s, so the common factor is 2s.
We now factor out 2s

4s + 10rs = 2s(2 + 5r)

What is a coefficient ?
Ahat [919]
A coefficient is a number that is attached to a term.

For example:

3x² - 5x + 6 = 0                 

The coefficient of x² is 3.

The coefficient of x = -5. 

Hope this explains it.

What is the simplified product of (2x)(x^2)+(2x)(x)+(2x)(-2)+(3)(x^2)+(3)(x)+(3)(-2)
NikAS [45]

(2x)(x^2)+(2x)(x)+(2x)(-2)+(3)(x^2)+(3)(x)+(3)(-2)

Simplifying

(2x)(x2) + (2x)(x) + (2x)(-2) + (3)(x2) + (3)(x) + (3)(-2)

Remove parenthesis around (2x)

2x(x2) + (2x)(x) + (2x)(-2) + (3)(x2) + (3)(x) + (3)(-2)

Multiply x * x2

2x3 + (2x)(x) + (2x)(-2) + (3)(x2) + (3)(x) + (3)(-2)

Remove parenthesis around (2x)

2x3 + 2x(x) + (2x)(-2) + (3)(x2) + (3)(x) + (3)(-2)

Multiply x * x

2x3 + 2x2 + (2x)(-2) + (3)(x2) + (3)(x) + (3)(-2)

Remove parenthesis around (2x)

2x3 + 2x2 + 2x(-2) + (3)(x2) + (3)(x) + (3)(-2)

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:

2x3 + 2x2 + 2 * -2x + (3)(x2) + (3)(x) + (3)(-2)

Multiply 2 * -2

2x3 + 2x2 + -4x + (3)(x2) + (3)(x) + (3)(-2)

Multiply 3 * -2

2x3 + 2x2 + -4x + 3x2 + 3x + -6

Reorder the terms:

-6 + -4x + 3x + 2x2 + 3x2 + 2x3

Combine like terms: -4x + 3x = -1x

-6 + -1x + 2x2 + 3x2 + 2x3

Combine like terms: 2x2 + 3x2 = 5x2

-6 + -1x + 5x2 + 2x3
