Write an expression that is the product of two factors and is equivalent to - 2x - 16.
Which expression is the product of two factors and is equivalent to - 2x - 16?
O A. -2x-1-15
OB. -2(x-8)
OC. (8x - 1)-(10x-15)
OD -2(X + 8)

Our answer will be D. We can eliminate choices A and C since they are not products. In other words, they are not multiplying factors together; they are only adding or subtracting.

Answer B does not work, as when it is multiplied out, we get -2x + 16.

When we find the product of D, we distribute the negative and get the correct product, -2x - 16
