Question

Factorise completely 8p-12pq

Answer 1

To factor this you have to take a 4p out of the equation. So divide 8p and -12pq by 4p and place it in parentheses with 4p in the front of the equation.

4p (2-3q) is your answer.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

`4p(2-3q)`

Explanation:

We have been given an expression
`8p-12pq`. We are asked to factor the given expression.

We can rewrite our expression as:

`2\cdot 4p-3q\cdot 4p`

Now, we will factor out
`4p` from our expression as:

`4p(2-3q)`

Therefore, the factored form of our given expression would be
`4p(2-3q)`.
