Question

Factor out the coefficient of the variable term.

$0.8w+3.6$

Answer 1

Step 1: We have given expression is $(0.8w+3.6)$

This expression has two terms:
$$\begin{gathered} 0.8w=0.8\times w \\ 3.6=0.8\times 4.5 \end{gathered}$$

Using the distributive property to factor out the common term $0.8$

$$\begin{gathered} 0.8w+3.6=0.8\left(w\right)+0.8(4.5)\{Rewritetheexpression\} \\ =0.8(w+4.5)\{Distributionproperty\} \end{gathered}$$

Final Answer: $0.8(w+4.5)$
