Answer 1

The factored form is
`(8x-32)=8(x-4)`

Explanation:

Given : A youth club receives a discount on each pizza purchased for a party. The original price of each pizza is x dollars. The club leader purchases 8 pizzas for a total of (8x-32) dollars.

To find : Factor the expression ?

Solution :

The original price of each pizza is x dollars.

The club leader purchases 8 pizzas for a total of
`(8x-32)` dollars.

To factor the expression we have to take common term out.

So,
`8x=8* x`

`32=8* 4`

8 is common take out,

`(8x-32)=8(x-4)`

Factors are 8 and (x-4).

Therefore, the factored form is
`(8x-32)=8(x-4)`
