Suppose you can factorize:

Then by expanding the right side, you have

which means in this case, you have to have
Answer:
Reason given in step 2. is incorrect. It should read; "Distributive Property."
Step-by-step explanation:
The reason given to go from :
2 (3x +4) = 56 to 6x + 8 = 56
is NOT "Multiplication Property of Equality" because one is not multiplying both sides of the equality by a number. The property that is being used is the Distributive Property on the left side of the equation in order to remove the grouping symbols (parenthesis) performing the implied multiplication of the external factor times each term of the binomial in parenthesis.
1/3 or 3/9 or 9/27

Answer:
B: 2⁷-1 = 127
Step-by-step explanation:
A Mersenne prime is a prime of the form 2^n -1, where n is also a prime.
Among the answer choices, neither 90=2·3²·5 nor 15=3·5 is prime. Both 2⁷-1 = 127 and 2¹¹-1 = 2047 are of the right form, but 2047 = 23·89 is a composite number.
2⁷-1 = 127 is a Mersenne prime
