When you factor, you take a common polynomial and multiply it by another polynomial (both with the same variable [i.e. both having "y"]) which when solved would create the polynomial in the problem.
1) -p2+8p-12
-(p-6)(p-2)
2) 2y2+15y+7
(y+7)(2y+1)
3) 6c2+7c+2
(2c+1)(3c+2)
4) -2b2-5b+12
-(b+4)(2b-3)
In Algebra, "is" means Equal (=).

What does 3n mean in algebric terms
the answer to the addition problem
x usually is the unknown that is the factor you have to solve for. It can be any letter but it commonly x. I know this because I had the hardest time in algebra in college. In fact I hated it and really can't remember much more than that. Good Luck I hope you have a much better teacher than I had.
In algebra, the factor theorem is a theorem linking factors and zeros of a polynomial. It is a special case of the polynomial remainder theorem.The factor theorem states that a polynomial has a factor if and only if
In Algebra, "is" means Equal (=).

"And" in algebra usually means addition.
A FACTOR is a term used to make a larger number by MULTIPLICATION. A PRODUCT is the term that is the answer to two numbers being multiplied together. e.g. 2 X 3 = 6 '2' & '3' separately are factors of '6'. '6' is the product of '2' & '3'. Algebraically, this could shown as ;- ab = c 'a' & 'b' are the factors 'c' is the product NB THe multiplication sign 'X' is NEVER shown in algebra, as it may be confused with the unknown 'x'. Hence 'ab' means 'a' multiplied to 'b' , '2a' means '2' multiplied to 'a'. or 3a^(2) means '3' multiplied to 'a', and then another 'a' is multiplied in again. So '3' , 'a' & 'a' are factors , and 3a^(2) is the product. .
In math, GCF stands for greatest common factor.
It usually refers to an introductory algebra class.
It mean to Subtract (-)
If you mean factor then it is a number that will divide equally into another number with no remainder as for example the factors of 12 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12
2 x 5 x 7
D can mean anything, it's only substituting a number that you have to find out. That's how you do basic algebra
