Q. Factor 24j−16 to identify the equivalent expressions.Choose 2 answers:A 8(3j−2)B 6(4j−2j)C 4(6j−4)D 2(12−8)
Identify GCF: Step Title: Identify the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)Concise Step Description: Determine the greatest common factor of the terms in the expression.Step Calculation: The GCF of 24j and −16 is 8.
Factor Out GCF: Step Title: Factor Out the GCFConcise Step Description: Factor the GCF out of the expression.Step Calculation: Factoring out 8 from 24j−16 gives 8(3j−2).
Verify Equivalent Expressions: Step Title: Verify the Equivalent ExpressionsConcise Step Description: Check the given options to see which ones are equivalent to the factored expression.Step Calculation: Option A is 8(3j−2), which matches the factored expression. Option C is 4(6j−4), which can be simplified to 4(6j)−4(4)=24j−16, which is also equivalent to the original expression. Options B and D are not equivalent to the original expression.
