Answer:

2(8a + 3b)(2x - 3y)

Step-by-step explanation:

32ax + 12bx - 48ay - 18by =

The first step in factoring is to factor out a common factor.

32, 12, -48, and -18 have the greatest common factor of 2.

= 2(16ax + 6bx - 24ay - 9by)

To factor a 4-term polynomial, factor it by parts. We factor out a common factor out of the first two terms, and we factor out a common factor out of the last two terms.

= 2[2x(8a + 3b) - 3y(8a + 3b)]

Now we have a common factor of 8a + 3b, so we factor that out.

= 2[(8a + 3b)(2x - 3y)]

Remove the unnecessary brackets.

= 2(8a + 3b)(2x - 3y)

Now we check every factor to confirm that no more factoring is possible.

There are no more common factors, and there are no methods of factoring binomials that are applicable, so the factoring is complete.

Answer: 2(8a + 3b)(2x - 3y)

Answer:

(16a + 6b) (2x - 3y)      

Step-by-step explanation:

32ax + 12bx - 48ay - 18by

(32ax - 48ay) + (12bx - 18by)

16a(2x - 3y) + 6b(2x - 3y)         Factor out in both seperate expressions

(16a + 6b) (2x - 3y)                    Double factoring

5. Each pair of polygons below are similar. Show your work! Solve for x:
Stella [2.4K]
Since they are similar, you need to find the ratio of similarity (I made up the term, there is probably a correct one that I can’t remember).

If you divide 16/40, you’ll find that that ratio is 2.5. So then you just multiply 16 x 2.5. You’ll get 18.

18 is the length of the top of the trapezoid.

You set 18=2x+4 and solve it algebraically. Subtract 4 from both sides.

14=2x
Divide by 2 and x=7

(You can also check that the ratio is right by 16/18 is the same decimal value as 40/45. You’ll get .88888...)
