Question

Factor the expression
20k + 50

I’m super confused with this, normally I don’t cheat but I had to get some help with this one.
Thanks :)

Answer 1

To factor this equation, you need to get k by itself. To do that, you divide the whole expression by 20 and write it in parentheses like this: (k+2.5)

Now put that 20 you divided next to it and you are done: 20(k+2.5)

Factoring is basically the inverse of the distributive property

Answer 2

19=h/3−8
aj please help me I dont get inverse operations

Answer 3

I answered your question on the other thread if you noticed.

Answer 4

20 k = 10 ∙ 2 k

50 = 10 ∙ 5

20 k + 50 = 10 ∙ 2 k + 10 ∙ 5 = 10 ( 2 k + 5 )

Answer 5

Oops, I screwed up. It's 10(2k+5) because 20k+50= 10k*2+10*5 as 10 is the greatest common denominator of 20 and 50. @Bosnian is also right.
