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)

Solve for x.<br><br> 8x^2-3=2

Mazyrski [523]

$(2^3x^2 - 3) - 2 = 0 \\ \\ Factoring: \ 8x^2-5 \\ \\ 8x^2 - 5 = 0 \\ \\ Add \ 5 \ to \ both \ sides \ of \ the \ equation : \\ \\ 
 8x^2 = 5 \\ \\ Divide \ both \ sides \ of \ the \ equation \ by \ 8: \\ \\ 
 x^2 = \frac{5}{8} = 0.625 \\ \\ \boxed{ x =\pm \sqrt 5/8}$

The number is 6400.

We have given that,

divided 80 by my number, and then added 13.

<h3>What is the expression?</h3>

An expression or mathematical expression is a finite combination of symbols that is well-formed according to rules that depend on the context.

Suppose the number is x

$\frac{x}{80}+13=93$
