What is the value of B?

iragen [17]

$2x^2-12xy-32y^2=2(x-8y)(x+By)\qquad|\text{use distributive property}\\\\2x^2-12xy-32y^2=(2x-16y)(x+By)\\\\2x^2-12xy-32y^2=(2x)(x)+(2x)(By)+(-16y)(x)+(-16y)(By)\\\\2x^2-12xy-32y^2=2x^2+2Bxy-16xy-16By^2\\\\2x^2-12xy-32y^2=2x^2+(2B-16)xy+(-16By)$

$\text{therefore:}\\\\2B-16=-12\ \text{and}\ -16B=-32\\\\2B=4\ \text{and}\ B=2\\\\B=2\ \text{and}\ B=2\qquadCORRECT$
