Question

Factor completely 4ab − 7ax + 8b − 14x.

(4b − 7x)(a + 2)

(4b + 7x)(a + 2)

(4b − 7x)(a − 2)

Prime

Answer 1

4ab + 7ax + 8b - 14x
a(4b - 7x) + 2(4b - 7x)
(4b - 7x)(a + 2)

The answer is: (4b - 7x)(a + 2).

Answer 2

`(4b-7x)(a+2)`

First Option is correct.

Explanation:

We have been given the expression
`4ab-7ax+8b-14x`

First we make groups as follows

`(4ab-7ax)+(8b-14x)`

Now, we factored out GCF from each group

`a(4b-7x)+2(4b-7x)`

Finally, factored out the common term

`(4b-7x)(a+2)`

First Option is correct.
