2(4x - 3)
(x + 6)(x + 2)
-6
If: x^2 -8x = -12 then x^2-8x+12 = 0 and so x = 2 or x = 6
To factor a polynomial expression, you identify common factors among the terms and express the polynomial as a product of simpler polynomials. For example, consider the polynomial ( x^2 - 5x + 6 ); it factors into ( (x - 2)(x - 3) ). Each factor is written in descending order, starting with the highest degree term. The specific steps to factor will depend on the polynomial you are working with.
To solve this equation, we will first subtract 2x from each side:8x=2x+6 (8x minus 2x=6x)6x=6Now, to isolate x, we must divide out the 6:6x=6 (6x divided by 6= x)x=1If 8x=2x+6, x=1
2(4m-3)
(x + 6)(x + 2)
x2 - 9x + 18 = (x - 3)(x - 6)
That does not factor neatly.
8x + 5z - 4x + 3z + 6 = 8x - 4x + 5z + 3z - 6 = 4x + 8z - 6
Take out the common factor, 3: 3x + 6 = 3(x + 2).
-6
(x-2)(x-3)
The GCF is 2.
44x^6 not 44x6 and 8x^5 not 8x5, my bad
which of the following is a factor of x2 - 5x - 6
3(7x-6)
