Use properties of operations to factor 8w + 16 using the GCF. (1 point)

Question

Responses

6(2w + 10)
6 Left Parenthesis 2 w plus 10 Right Parenthesis

2(4w + 8)
2 Left Parenthesis 4 w plus 8 Right Parenthesis

4(2w + 4)
4 Left Parenthesis 2 w plus 4 Right Parenthesis

8(w + 2)

Answer 1

To factor the expression \(8w + 16\) using the greatest common factor (GCF), we first identify the GCF of the coefficients 8 and 16, which is 8.

Now, we can factor out the GCF from the expression:

\[ 8w + 16 = 8(w + 2) \]

So the correct response is:

8(w + 2).
