Question

An equivalent expression for 16x − 8 is _____ . The _____ Property is used to generate this expression.

Answer 1

`8(2x-1)`

WE used distributive property to generate this expression

Explanation:

An equivalent expression for 16x − 8

To get equivalent expression we factor out GCF

`16x--> 2,2,2,2,x`

`8-->2,2,2`

Greatest common factor GCF is
`2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 =8`

We take out GCF 8

16x − 8

`8(2x-1)`

WE used distributive property to generate this expression

Answer 2

16x - 8 can be 8(2x - 1)

The distributive property
