Question

Factor out the GCF from each polynomial. Write answer in equation form

Answer 1

Answer:

$2(3x^2-8x+4)$

Explanation:

Here, we want to factor out the GCF from the given expression

We start by opening up the brackets and summing up the like terms as follows:

$\begin{gathered} 6x(x-2)\text{ +4\lparen2-x\rparen} \\ =\text{ 6x}^2-12x+8-4x \\ =\text{ 6x}^2-12x-4x+8 \\ =\text{ 6x}^2-16x+8 \end{gathered}$

To factor this out, we use the greatest factor of the 3

Thus, we have that as:

$2(3x^2-8x+4)$
