x − 2 out of 5n ( x −2 ) + 8 ( x − 2) . ( x − 2 ) ( 5 n + 8 )

\huge\textsf{Hey there!}


\large\textsf{5n(x - 2) + 8(x - 2) =}


\large\text{DISTRIBUTE 5 and 8 WITHIN the PARENTHESES}


\large\textsf{= 5n(x) + 5(-2) + 8(x) + 8(-2)}


\large\textsf{= 5nx - 10n + 8x - 16}


\boxed{\boxed{\huge\textsf{Answer: \bf (x - 2)(5n + 8)}}}\huge\checkmark
