Question

Factor 24 j − 16 24j−1624, j, minus, 16 to identify the equivalent expressions.

Answer 1

8(3j-2)

Explanation:

Given the expression: 24j−16

We are required to factor the expression.

The GCD of 24 and 16 is 8. We therefore divide both terms of the expression by 8.

`8((24j)/(8)-(16)/(8))\\\\=8(3j-2)`

An equivalent expression therefore is: 8(3j-2)
