Q. Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor.\newline8x20= 8 x-20=
  1. Identify GCF of 8x8x and 20-20: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms 8x8x and 20-20.\newlineThe factors of 8x8x are 11, 22, 44, 88, xx, 20-2000, 20-2011, and 8x8x.\newlineThe factors of 20-20 are 11, 22, 44, 20-2077, 20-2088, 20-2099, 8x8x00, 8x8x11, 8x8x22, 8x8x33, 8x8x44, and 20-20.\newlineThe greatest common factor of 8x8x and 20-20 is 44.
  2. Factor out GCF using distributive property: Use the distributive property to factor out the GCF from the expression 8x208x - 20.\newlineThe distributive property states that a(b+c)=ab+aca(b + c) = ab + ac.\newlineIn this case, we can factor out the GCF, which is 44, from each term.\newline8x8x can be written as 4(2x)4(2x) and 20-20 can be written as 4(5)4(-5).\newlineSo, 8x208x - 20 can be factored as 4(2x)4(5)4(2x) - 4(5).
  3. Combine factored terms using distributive property: Combine the factored terms into a single expression using the distributive property.\newlineThis gives us 4(2x5)4(2x - 5) as the factored expression.
