Question

Factor the polynomial: 2x(x - 4) + 7 (x - 4)

Answer 1

(x-4)(2x+7)

Explanation:

2x(x-4)+7(x-4)

2x^2-8x+7x-28=

2x^2-x-28=

(x-4)(2x+7)

Answer 2

Explanation:

With this question, we just have to group the terms, so in this case, we can remove the common term (x - 4), and then group the rest of them

If we do that we get:

(x - 4) (2x + 7)

Hope this helps,
