12x2-8x
8x(1 - 3x)
I believe the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) would be 8x I believe the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) would be 8x
8x-87+(16)(6) can be simplified: 8x - 87 + 96 8x + 9 Once this expression is simplified, factoring doesn't much help. However, in order to "factor," you need to find something that both terms (in this case, 8x and 9) have in common. Only one term has a variable, but if it strikes your fancy you can factor out a constant. For instance, we can factor out a nine and get 9(8x/9 + 1).
Please help I am really confused so if you would please help me leave a comment
3(8x + 1)(8x - 1)
The GCF is 8x.
(8x - 21)(8x + 21)
-8x + 3x2 - 3
That does not factor neatly.
The GCF of 8x and 12x2 is 4x.
