Question

julie has $80 in her savings account and plans to save $x each month for 8 months.The expression $8x+$80 represents the total amount in the account after 8 months.Factor this expression​

Answer 1

Answer:

$8(x+10)$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the expression

$(8x+80)$

we know that

$(8x+80)=(8x+8(10))$

Factor the number 8

$(8x+8(10))=8(x+10)$

therefore

The expression factored is $8(x+10)$

Answer 2

Answer:

The factorization of the given expression is given as:

                                 $8(x+10)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor a algebraic equation means to represent it as the multiplication of the simple expressions.

( i.e. if the expression has a common multiple in each of the terms then we take  it out and represent the rest of the expression in brackets.

Also, we can express a algebraic equation by the multiplication of the factors of the expression )

We are given a expression as:

$8x+80$ which represents  the total amount in the account after 8 months.

and x represents the amount saved each month.

Since both the terms i.e. 8x and 80 have a common multiple as: 8

Hence, we take it out of the expression and write the resulting expression as follows:

$8x+80=8(x+10)$
