Question

Factor the expression 4x + 32. Explain each step you take in the process.

Answer 1

4x+32

4 goes into 4 1 time. (4/4=1)
4 goes into 32 8 times. (32/4=8)
We can factor out 4 from both numbers. 

4(1x+8)
aka 4(x+8)

Answer 2

Answer:

Sample response: The GCF of 4x and 32 is 4, so the first step is to divide each term by 4. The quotients are x and 8. The factored expression will be 4(x + 8).
