Question

Determine the GCF and write the expression in factored form.

open parentheses 6 x squared minus 4 x close parentheses plus open parentheses 4 x squared minus 8 x close parentheses

hintHint:

  • The highest number that divides exactly into two or more numbers is known as GCF.
  • Factored form refers to the form of a number or algebraic expression when it has been broken down into a product of its factors.

The correct answer is: GCF will be 2x.


    • We have been given an algebraic expression in the question that is -
    • We have to find the GCF and write the expression in factored form.
    Step 1 of 1:
    We have given a polynomial open parentheses 6 x squared minus 4 x close parentheses plus open parentheses 4 x squared minus 8 x close parentheses
    We know that on polynomial we can add/subtract like terms.
    So,

     open parentheses 6 x squared minus 4 x close parentheses plus open parentheses 4 x squared minus 8 x close parentheses
    open parentheses 10 x squared minus 12 x close parentheses
    Now, Factorize it

     2 x left parenthesis 5 x minus 6 right parenthesis

    GCF will be 2x.
