Hi!

I can help you with joy!

  • To factor expressions, search for the common factor and factor it out.
  • Remember, factoring is the opposite of distributing.
  • Distributing looks like so:
  • a(b+c)=ab+ac
  • Factoring looks like so:
  • ab+ac=a(b+c)
  • Now, let's factor this expression.
  • The common term here is 8.
  • Factor 8 out:
  • 32t-48
  • 8(4t-6)

Answer:

8(4t-6)

Hope it helps.
