3 * x * x * y
(3x - 5)(x + 3)
While it is possible to factor 3x2 from both of these and get 3x2(4 - 1), it's a lot easier to subtract 3x2 from 12x2 and get 9x2
factor out a 3x 3x(x-3)=3x2-9x
3x2 + 2x - 8 = 3x2 + 6x - 4x - 8 = 3x(x+2) - 4(x+2) = (3x-4)*(x+2)
the answer is 3x2
-8x + 3x2 - 3
3x2 + 27x +60
You can take a 3x2 out of both of those, leaving 1 and 3x.
24x6 + 12x4 + 15x2 factor the greatest common factor, 3x2 = 3x2(8x4 + 4x2 + 5)
yes
3X2 + 6X + 9 3(X2 + 2 + 3) -----------------------3 is a common factor of all terms
