Question

Which of the following is a fully factored expression of 24x – 56y + 72?

Answer 1

24x-56y+72

8(3x-7y+9)

Answer 2

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$24x-56y+72$

We need to find the fully factored expression of given expression.

The given expression can be rewritten as

$8\times 3\times x-8\times 7\times y+8\times 9$

Now, it is clear that 8 is the GCF in all terms.

Taking GCF, we get

$8(3x-7y+9)$

It is the fully factored form of the  given expression.

Hence, the correct option is C.
