The greatest common factor of each term in the expression 20 x minus 16 x y is 4x. Which choice shows the expression written as a product? 4 x (5 x minus 4 x y) 4 x (5 minus 4 y) 4 x (5 minus 16 x y) 4 x (5 x minus 16 x y)

Respuesta :

Answer: Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is 20 x minus  16 x y

we can rewrite the equation in the form of an algebraic expression i.e,

20 x - 16 x y

We can take common factor  4 x  from above equation as 4 x divides each term of an expression

By taking common 4 x we can rewrite the equation as

=4 x( 5  - 4 y)

or we can also rewrite

4 x ( 5 minus - 4 y)

Hence, the correct answer is 4 x ( 5 minus - 4 y)

Hence Option(2) is correct

Answer:

4x(5-4y)
