Question

How do you factor y=8m2−41m−42?

Answer 1

Answer : y = - 25 m - 42

Step by step explanation :

$y = 8m \times 2 - 41m - 42$

Calculate the product by multiplying the numbers.

$= > y = 16m - 41m - 42$

Collect the like terms by subtracting their coefficients.

$= > y = (16 - 41)m - 42$

Calculate the difference.

$= > y = - 25m - 42$

The final solution for y is

$= > y = - 25m - 42$
