Danny
Trener
2(14%
74x1)
407x - 2)

both Carlos and Irene

Answer 1

Well formatted version of the question can be found in the picture attached below :

Answer:

Both Carlos and Irene

Explanation:

Given the expression (28x - 8)

Carlos : 2(14x - 4)

Danny : 7(4x - 1)

Irene : 4(7x - 2)

The factored expression Given by Carlos, Irene and Danny can be expanded to check if it gives the same expression as that Given in the question :

Carlos :

2(14x - 4)

2*14x - 2*4

28x - 8

Danny :

7(4x - 1)

7*4x - 7*1

28x - 7

Irene :

4(7x - 2)

4*7x - 4*2

28x - 8

From.the expanded solutions obtained ;

Both Carlos and Irene's solution corresponds to the factored form of the original equation and are Hence correct
