Vocaloid (vocaloid):

start by factoring the first two terms 2x + 8 what is the GCF?

OpenStudy (adi3):

4

OpenStudy (adi3):

i think 2

OpenStudy (adi3):

L.C.M would be 2

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

right, 2, so we factor out 2 to get 2(x+4)

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

then we move to the next two terms bx + 4b GCF = ?

OpenStudy (adi3):

b

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

right, so we factor out b to get b(x+4) now let's put everything back together 2(x+4) + b(x+4) now, when we have an expression like A*B + C*B we can rewrite it as (A+C)*B so 2(x+4) + b(x+4) = (2+b)(x+4)

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

and that's it
