Answer:
a) 8xy = (4)(2xy)
b) 15x⁴z = (5x²)(3x²z)
c) -12x³y³ = (3y³)(-4x³)
d) 8x-2y = (2)(4x-y)
Explanation:
a) 8xy = (4)(2xy) for the right side to equal the left 2xy needs to be multiplied by 4 to equal 8xy
b) 15x⁴z = (5x²)(3x²z) you need to multiply 5x² by 3x²z to equal 15x⁴z.
5*3 = 15 and x²*x² = x⁴ so 15x⁴*z = 15x⁴z
c) -12x³y³ = (3y³)(-4x³) becuase -4*3 = -12 and x³*y³ equal x³y³
d) 8x - 2y = (2)(4x-y) when you multiply 2 by 4x-y it equals 8x-2y
