Question

28xw+7wy-4kx-ky

Factor the polynomial completely

Thank you!

Answer 1

(7w - k)(4x + y)

Explanation:

Factor by grouping is best for this expression. To factor by grouping, group pairs of terms with parenthesis. Then find the GCF in each pair. If the parenthesis match after, the factoring is complete.

28xw + 7wy - 4kx - ky

(28xw + 7wy) + (- 4kx - ky)

7w(4x + y) - k (4x + y)

The factors are (7w - k)(4x + y).
