Question

Examine the expression. 17x - 34 Which is an equivalent expression? O 17*(1 + ) O 17x (1-2) O 17+(1-1) O 17*(1 + 2)​

Answer 1

17(x-2)

Explanation:

Given the expression

17x - 34

We are to factorize it

Get their factors

17x = 17 * x

34 = 17 * 2

Since 17 is common to both factors, hence 17 is the GCF

17x - 34 = 17(x - 2)

Hence the equivalent expression is 17(x-2)
