Q. Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor.60−40y=
Identify GCF of 60 and −40: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of 60 and −40.The factors of 60 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, −400, −401, −402, −403, −404, −405, 60.The factors of −40 are −408, −409, 600, 601, 602, 603, 604, −40.The greatest common factor of 60 and −40 is −404.
Apply distributive property: Apply the distributive property to factor out the GCF, which is 20.60−40y=20(3)−20(2y)
Simplify factored expression: Simplify the factored expression. 60−40y=20(3−2y)
