how do i factor out the expression -8y+32

Answer 1

To factor out the expression -8y + 32, you must determine the great common factor of each term. The great common factor of -8y and 32 is -8. Therefore, -8 is to be placed outside of a set of parenthesis, and the remaining factors and the operation are left inside the parenthesis, as in -8(...+ ...). Evaluate -8y/8 and 32/-8.
