21x^2-56x
If this is a factoring problem, factor out 7x and get 7x(3x-8)
if it's not a factoring problem then send chuck norris in to take care of stuff
it is a factoring problem. . and you please show me how you got that answer. .. im trying to understand how to factor the this polynomial question
Look at the two terms. The first term is 21x^2 . The second term is -56x. Now ask yourself, "what factor do 21 and -56 have in common. The answer is 7. Then ask yourself what do x^2 and x have in common. The answer is x. So they have 7x in common and it can be factored out.
\[21x ^{2} -56x = 7x(3x-8)\]
You can always tell if what you write is true by using the distributive property and see if you get what you started with.
thank you very much. .
