First lets let y=1 to get
8x%5E2-32
Solved by pluggable solver: Factoring using the AC method (Factor by Grouping)


8%2A%5E2%2B0%2A-32 Start with the given expression.



8%281%2B1-4%29 Factor out the GCF 8.



Now let's try to factor the inner expression 1%2B1-4



---------------------------------------------------------------




Now lets reintroduce y back in

So the expression factors to

%288x-16y%29%28x%2B2y%29
