Answer

Makes sense.

Work Step by Step

$20x^{3}+8x^{2}$ The first step in factoring this, is pulling out the highest common denominator, which would be $4x^{2}$. $20x^{3}+10x$ The first step in factoring this, is pulling out the highest common denominator, which would be $10x$. Although $20x^{3}$ appears in both equations, it would need to be factored in different ways to obtain each polynomial's factorization.
