Question

(4x²-8)+(2x²-8x)

yeahh

Answer 1

(2(x-2)(3x+2)

1.(Combine like terms)

4x^2-8+2x^2-8x

6x^2-8-8x

2.Rearrange terms

6x^2-8-8x

6x^2-8x-8

3.Common factor

(4x^2-8)+(2x^2-8x)

2(3x^2-4x-4)

4. use the sum-product pattern

2(3x^2-4x-4

2(3x^2+3x-6x-4

5. common factor from the two pairs

2((3x^2+2x)+(-6x-4))

2(x(3x+2x)-2(3x+2))

6.rewrite in factored form

2(x(3x+2)-2(3x+2))

2(x-2)(3x+2)
