Question

Factor by grouping:
4a(x-2)+3(2-x)=

Answer 1

(x-2)(4a-3)

Answer 2

can you perhaps show me the steps so I can remember how to do these??? :)

Answer 3

if not, it's okay

Answer 4

The steps are the followings:
We notice that if we'll factorize (2-x) by -1, we'll get: -(x-2)
If you multiply (x-2) by -1, you'll get (2-x)

Answer 5

Then, you'll get the expression:
4a(x-2)-3(x-2)
Now, the terms of the sum share the same factor (x-2)
(x-2)(4a-3)
