Q. Create equivalent expressions by factoring 10h+30+50j to identify the equivalent expressions.Choose 2 answers:(A) 5(2h+6+10j)(B) 10(h+3+5j)(C) 2(5h+15+25j)(D) 15(32h+2+310j)
Identify Common Factor: Step Title: Identify the Common FactorConcise Step Description: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) that can be factored out from all terms in the expression 10h+30+50j.Step Calculation: The GCF of 10, 30, and 50 is 10.Step Output: GCF: 10
Factor Out GCF: Step Title: Factor Out the GCFConcise Step Description: Factor out the GCF from each term in the expression to create an equivalent expression.Step Calculation: Factoring out the GCF, 10, we get 10(h+3+5j).Step Output: Factored Expression: 10(h+3+5j)
Check Answer Choices: Step Title: Check the Answer ChoicesConcise Step Description: Compare the factored expression with the answer choices to identify the equivalent expressions.Step Calculation: The factored expression 10(h+3+5j) matches with choice B. Now, we need to check if any other choices are equivalent.Step Output: Matching Choice: B
Verify Other Choices: Step Title: Verify Other ChoicesConcise Step Description: Verify if any other choices are equivalent to the factored expression by simplifying them.Step Calculation: Choice A simplifies to 5(2h+30+50j) which is not equivalent because it would result in 10h+150+250j when distributed. Choice C simplifies to 2(5h+15+25j) which is not equivalent because it would result in 10h+30+50j when distributed, which is the original expression. Choice D simplifies to 15(10h+2+50j) which is not equivalent because it would result in 150h+30+750j when distributed.Step Output: Equivalent Choices: B and C
