"you rent four movies and return them a day late. the regular rental fee is xdollars per movie. you are charged a total of (4x+8) dollars. a. factor the expression using the cake method (+8) = don't put spaces when you type your answer. b. the fee for returning a movie 1 day late is $"

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The factored expression would be:

Notice that the charge per movie is $(x+2), because the factor 4 represents the total number of movies.

Therefore, in this case, the fee per movie is x + 2. (b).
