Question

Mrs. Crosland asked students to factor the expression 28x - 8. The students offered the answers shown in the box. Which student(s) offered answer(s) equivalent to the original expression? A. only Danny B. only Irene C. both Carlos and Danny D. both Carlos and Irene​

Answer 1

Explanation:

I can't see the factorisation that the students did. That is, Danny, Carlos and Irene. You either forgot to upload, or you couldn't.

However, I will factorise the expression for you, while you check you book to know who did the exact same factorisation.

28x - 8

This equation can be factorised when divided by 2, into

2(14x - 4)

At the same time, it can be factorised when divided by 4, into

4(7x - 2)

Basically, either of the students who choose between 2(14x - 4) and 4(7x - 2) is/are whom you'd pick for your answer.
