Answer 2

Answer:

Monique made an error when writing the factored expression

Step-by-step explanation:

Monique's work:

Factors of 4x: 1, 2, 4, x

Factors of 16xy: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, x, y

GCF: 4x

Factored expression: 4 x (0 + 4 y)

Correct working:

Factors of 4x: 1, 2, 4, x

Factors of 16xy: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, x, y

GCF: 4x

Factored expression: 4 x (1 + 4 y)

Therefore, Monique made an error when writing the factored expression

Check:

4x(1 + 4y)

Opening bracket

4x + 16xy
