17. julie has $80 in her savings account and plans to save sr each
the total amount in the account after 8 months. factor this expression.
vings account and plans to save $x each month for 8 months. the expression $8x + $80 represents
factor this expression

$8(x + 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression $8x + $80  has two terms. They are $8x and $80.

When you factor an expression, you are looking for numbers that every term in the expression can divide by (and give a whole number).

Just by looking at the terms, you see they both have $ you can factor out. They can both also be divided by 8. This is called taking out a common factor.

$8x + $80     Take out the common factor

= ($8x) / $8 + ($80) / $8

= $8(x + 10)      The common factor goes outside the terms' bracket

This expression can't be factored more because there are no common factors. The binomial also doesn't have square numbers for example, which might make a case where you need to factor further with different methods.
