Using the distributive property to find the product open paren y minus 4 x close paren times open paren y squared plus 4 y plus 16 close paren results in a polynomial of the form y cubed plus 4 y squared plus A y minus 4 x y squared minus A x y minus 64 x What is the value of A in the polynomial?

Answer
A
4
B
8
C
16
D
32

Explanation

Distribute each term in y − 4x across y² + 4y + 16. The y term contributes 16y, and the −4x term contributes −16xy. Comparing these with Ay and −Axy shows that A = 16, so the correct choice is 16.
