Question

Factor 1/8 out of 1/8x-49/8

Answer 1

ANSWER


`(1)/(8) x - (49)/(8) = (1)/(8) (x - 49)`

Step-by-step explanation

We want to factor

`(1)/(8)`
out of

`(1)/(8) x - (49)/(8)`

We need to rewrite the above expression to obtain,


`(1)/(8) x - (49)/(8) = (1)/(8) x - (1)/(8) * 49`

We can see clearly now that there is a factor of

`(1)/(8)`
common to both terms.

We take this factor out to obtain,


`(1)/(8) x - (49)/(8) = (1)/(8) (x - 49)`

Answer 2

1/8x - 49/8...u can factor out 1/8
1/8(x - 49)

u can even check ur answer by distributing the 1/8 thru the parenthesis
1/8(x - 49) = 1/8 * x - 1/8 * 49 = 1/8x - 49/8 (correct)
