Question

Hey yall, 20 points? Factor to write an equivalent expression: 26a−10

Answer 1

2 (13a -5)

Explanation:

Work Shown:

The GCF of 26 and 10 is 2. This is the largest factor that goes into both.

26a = 2*13a

10 = 2*5

So,

26a - 10 = 2*13a - 2*5 = 2(13a-5)

I'm using the distributive property to factor the 2 out.
