Factoring Using the Distributive Property

Rewrite the product as a difference using the distributive property:

2(c - 8)

• 2c - 16

• 2c + 16

• 2c - 8

• c - 16

Rewrite the sum as a product by factoring and using the GCF:

16x+32

• 8(2x+4)

• 16(x+2)

• 7(8x+32)

• 2(8x+16)

Rewrite the product as a difference using the distributive property:

2(c - 8)

• 2c - 16

• 2c + 16

• 2c - 8

• c - 16

Rewrite the sum as a product by factoring and using the GCF: 16ab + 24b?

• 8b(2a + 3)

• 8ab(2 + 3)

• 8a(2b + 3)

• 8(2a + 3b)

Apply the distributive property to write an equivalent expression in factored form: 12s + 18

• 2(9s + 6)

• 3(6s + 4)

• 6(2s + 3)

• 6(3s + 2)

Factor the expression

14r + 8

• 2(7r + 3)

• 7(2r + 4)

• 2(7r - 4)

• 4(2r - 7)

Factor the following expression:

20y - 5

• 4(5y - 1)

• 5(4y - 1)

• 20(y - 5)

• y(20 - 5)

Use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression.
-9(2g-3)

Factor the expression

14r + 28

Write the expression as a product of two expressions. Factor.

12 + 9x

• 3(4+3x)

• 3(3 + 4x)

• 4(3 + 9x)

• 3(12 + 3x)
