You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'll do the first one to get you started. Let me know if you still need help with the second one.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "# 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"8x%2Byw%2Bxy%2B8w\" Start with the given expression.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28xy%2B8x%29%2B%28yw%2B8w%29\" Rearrange and group like terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%28y%2B8%29%2Bw%28y%2B8%29\" Factor out the GCF \"x\" out of the first group. Factor out the GCF \"w\" out of the second group\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2Bw%29%28y%2B8%29\" Since we have the common term \"y%2B8\", we can combine like terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"8x%2Byw%2Bxy%2B8w\" factors to \"%28x%2Bw%29%28y%2B8%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In other words, \"8x%2Byw%2Bxy%2B8w=%28x%2Bw%29%28y%2B8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
