Q. Factor 28+56t+28w to identify the equivalent expressions.Choose 2 answers:(A) 2(56+112t+56w)(B) 28(1+2t+w)(C) 4(7+13t+7w)(D) 7(4+8t+4w)
Identify GCF: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms in the trinomial 28+56t+28w. The terms 28, 56t, and 28w all have a common factor of 28.
Factor out GCF: Factor out the GCF from each term in the trinomial. 28+56t+28w=28(1)+28(2t)+28(w)=28(1+2t+w)
Check answer choices: Check the answer choices to see which ones are equivalent to the factored expression 28(1+2t+w).(A) 2(56+112t+56w) is not equivalent because when factored out, it would be 2(28+56t+28w), which is not the same as 28(1+2t+w).(B) 28(1+2t+w) is equivalent because it matches the factored expression we found.(C) 4(7+13t+7w) is not equivalent because when expanded, it would not give the original trinomial.(D) 7(4+8t+4w) is equivalent because when expanded, it gives 28+56t+28w, which is the original trinomial.
