Which expression is the result of factoring the expression below by taking out its greatest common factor?10x2+50x=?Choose 1 answer:(A) 10x(x2+5x)(B) x(10x2+50x)(C) 10x(x+5)(D) x(10x+50)
Q. Which expression is the result of factoring the expression below by taking out its greatest common factor?10x2+50x=?Choose 1 answer:(A) 10x(x2+5x)(B) x(10x2+50x)(C) 10x(x+5)(D) x(10x+50)
Identify GCF of terms: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms in the expression 10x2+50x.The GCF of 10x2 and 50x is 10x, because 10x is the largest expression that divides both terms evenly.
Factor out GCF from each term: Factor out the GCF from each term in the expression.Divide each term by the GCF 10x and write the expression as the product of the GCF and the resulting terms.10x2÷10x=x50x÷10x=5The factored expression is 10x(x+5).
Write expression as product: Match the factored expression with the correct answer choice.The factored expression 10x(x+5) corresponds to answer choice (C).
