Question

How do you factor completely 2bx+2x-2by-2y?

Answer 1

Answer : 2 (b + 1) × (x - y)

Step by step explanation :

$2bx + 2x - 2by - 2y$

Factor out 2 from the expression.

$= > 2(bx + x - by - y)$

Factor out x from the expression.

$= > 2(x \times (b + 1) - by - y)$

Factor out - y from the expression.

$= > 2(x \times (b + 1) - y \times (b + 1))$

Factor out b + 1 from the expression.

$= > 2(b + 1) \times (x - y)$
