explain how to factor 6ab-8bc-4bd?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

try look for the commons.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

what i can see is only 2 is common here, as it goes with 6, 8 and 4. all three.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

so, 2(ab-4bc-2db)

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

2(ab-4bc-2db) Now you can also be b is also common from all these three. so, 2b(a - c - d)

OpenStudy (4meisu):

thanks!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

welks.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

how can you take a common?? there is no a on the second and third term?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

6ab-8bc-4bd? 2(3ab-4bc-2db) 2b(3a - 4c - 2d)

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
