Factor 8xy-4*(2y^2)

Problem

8*x*y−4*(2*y2)

Solution

1. Simplify the second term by multiplying the constants.

4*(2*y2)=8*y2

2. Rewrite the expression with the simplified term.

8*x*y−8*y2

3. Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) between the two terms 8*x*y and 8*y2

GCF=8*y

4. Factor out the GCF from each term.

8*x*y−8*y2=8*y*(x−y)

Final Answer

8*x*y−4*(2*y2)=8*y*(x−y)
