Question

Write the expression in complete factored form.
5n(x - 2) + 8(x - 2) =

Answer 1

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

I hope this is correct and helps!

Answer 2

$\huge\textsf{Hey there!}$

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

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

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

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

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