How do you factor: x^2-4x+2xy-8y?
1 answer:
Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.
Group the first two terms and the last two terms.
(−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.
