Factor 30z+40.

Question

Write your answer as a product with a whole number greater than 1.

Answer 1

To factor the expression \(30z + 40\), we first identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the two terms:

• The coefficients 30 and 40 have a GCF of 10.

Now we can factor out 10 from each term:

\[ 30z + 40 = 10(3z + 4) \]

Thus, the factored form of the expression is:

\[ 10(3z + 4) \]

So, the answer is \(10(3z + 4)\) where the whole number greater than 1 is 10.
