Q. Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor.70−40p=
Identify GCF of 70 and −40: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of 70 and −40.The factors of 70 are 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, −400, −401, 70.The factors of −403 are 1, 2, −406, 5, −408, 10, 700, −403.The greatest common factor is 10.
Apply distributive property: Apply the distributive property to factor out the GCF, which is 10.70−40p=10(7)−10(4p)
Combine factored terms: Combine the factored terms inside the parentheses.70−40p=10(7−4p)
