Question

Factor the expression completely
-16x - 32

Answer 1

Detailed explanation:

Hii! Let's factorise this expression!

First, note that both -16x and -32 have a -16 in common. This is a very valuable piece of information, and it will assist us in solving this problem.

__

Now, divide -16x and -32 by -16.

x+2 is what we obtain.

Next we put parentheses around x+2

(x+2)

Now we put -16 that we factored out outside the parentheses

-16(x+2)

Done!

Answer 2

-16(x+2)

Explanation:
