Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

( $x^{2}$ −4x)+2xy−8y

Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group.

x(x−4)+2y(x−4)

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, x−4.

(x−4)(x+2y)

I believe this is correct. Good luck.

In an arithmetic sequence, the 10th term is 37, and the 21st term is 4. Find the common difference and the first term

Masja [62]

Answer:

Common difference is 3. And the first term is 64.

Step-by-step explanation:

The differnce between 21 and 10 is 11. So there are 11 unknown numbers in between. And the difference between 37 and 4 is 33. 33/11 is equal to 3. So the pattern is minus three. the first term is 9 terms before 37. 9 times 3 is 27. 37+27 is equal to 64. so the first term is 64
