Question

Factor −1/3
out of −1/3x−8

Answer 1

To factor out -1/3 out of the expression -1/3x - 8, first divide -8 by -1/3 to get 24. Now just put 24 in the place of -8 in the original expression. Your final answer should be -1/3(x + 24). Hope this helps and have a phenomenal day!

Answer 2

The factor form is
`-(1)/(3)x-8=-(1)/(3)(x+24)`

Explanation:

To find : Factor
`-(1)/(3)` out of
`-(1)/(3)x-8`

Solution :

Taking the term common means we the number multiply inside give you the same result.

Taking
`-(1)/(3)` out of
`-(1)/(3)x` is left with

`(-(1)/(3)x)/(-(1)/(3))=x`

Taking
`-(1)/(3)` out of
`8` is left with

`(8)/(-(1)/(3))=-8* 3=-24`

So,
`-(1)/(3)x-8=-(1)/(3)(x-(-24))`

`-(1)/(3)x-8=-(1)/(3)(x+24)`

The factor form is
`-(1)/(3)x-8=-(1)/(3)(x+24)`
