Answer:
4(x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor out common factors from each term. Note the factors for each number
4: 1, 2, 4
8: 1, 2, 4, 8
The largest factor for each is 4, and so divide 4 from both terms.
(4x + 8)/4 = (x + 2)
4(x + 2) is your factored expression.

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
GCF = 4
Factor out the GCF (Write the GCF first. Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF.)
4(ax/4 + 8/4)
Simplify each term in parenthesis
<u>4(x + 2)</u>
-10, -|-8|, -(-2), |-11|, 5²
-1
slope = y2-y1/x2-x1
(5,5) (7,3)
slope = 5-3/5-7 = 2/-2 = -1
