Question

Which expression is equivalent to 8x - 12y +32

Answer 1

The answer is shown above

Answer 2

Answer:

The equivalent equation is

4(2x - 3y +8)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem seeks to test our idea on factorization

Step one :

Given the expression expression

8x - 12y +32

To find an expression equivalent to it we need to look for a common factor of all the terms in the equation

Step two

From inspection the common factor is 4

So pulling 4 out from all the terms we have

Step three

4(2x - 3y +8)=0

which is equivalent to the original equation 8x - 12y +32
