Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. Although 20x^{3} appears in both 20x^{3} + 8x^{2} and 20x^{3} + 10x, I’ll need to factor 20x^{3} in different ways to obtain each polynomial’s factorization?

Step 1
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. Although 20x3 appears in both 20x3+8x2 and 20x3+10x, I’ll need to factor 20x3 in different ways to obtain each polynomial’s factorization?
Step 2
We are given two expressions:
20x3+8x2
and 20x3+10x
if we factorize them,
20x3+8x2=4x2(5x+2)
and 20x3+10x=10x(2x2+1)
We see that factorization depends on each term of the expression, so although both expressions contain one common term, because of the other term both have different ways.
