Question

3(8w + 6) write the expression in two other ways

need help asap

Answer 1

1) 24w + 18
2) 6(4w + 3)

Explanation:

Explanation for 1)
Use the Foil method for factoring by multiplying each number inside the bracket [8w + 6] by the number outside the brackets [3]

3*(8w + 6)
3 * 8w + 3 * 6
= 24w + 18

Explanation for 2)
By using the final product in 1) [24w + 18], we can facour it further by using GCF (Greatest Common Factor)

We have to determine first what is the greatest common factor of 24w, and 18

Its 6

So we use 6, and divide it by what we got in explanation 1 to find our 2nd way of writing the expression
24w/6 + 18/6
= 6(4w + 3)

Don't forget to put whatever you divided those numbers by outside of the bracket

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Explanation:

Given

3(8w + 6)

Question

Write in 2 different ways.

Method One

Use the distributive property to remove the brackets.

3(8w + 6) Given. Remove the brackets. Notice both results

3*8w + 3 * 6 Combine

24w + 18

Method 2

Take out another common factor. 2 is another common factor.

3(8w + 6)

3*2 (4w + 3) Combine

6 ( 4w + 3)
