To factor an expression, first you have to find the GCF or Greatest Common Factor of all of the pieces of the expression.
The GCF of 2y^2 and -4y is 2y
So, to factor this expression, we need to divide all of the pieces of the expression by the GCF.
2y(y-2)
2y^2 - 4y in completely factored form is 2y(y-2)

Percent is pars out of 100
40%=40/100=4/10=0.4
'of' means multiply
0.4 times something=56
divide both sides by 0.4
something=140
th enumber is 140
Answer:
a = 30
b = 40
C
Step-by-step explanation:
This requires that you use a proportion.
a / (a + 15) = 40 / 60
The small triangle's sides are in proportion to the large triangles sides.
Reduce the right. Divide top and bottom by 20
a/(a + 15) = 40/20 // 60/20
a/(a + 15) = 2/3
Cross multiply
3a = 2(a + 15) Remove the brackets on the right.
3a = 2a + 30
Subtract 2a from both sides
3a-2a = 30
a = 30
Find B
b is done exactly the same way.
b/(b+20) = 2/3
3b = 2b + 40
3b - 2b = 40
b = 40
