Question

How would you turn this into an equivalent factored form: 14x+18x^2

Answer 1

2x(9x + 7)

Answer 2

How did you do that? Steps.

Answer 3

you find common factors between all of the terms to take out by 'reverse'-distributive property first
both terms have at least one x and are divisible by 2, so those would be the common factors between them

you can re-distribute the numbers back in again to see that it is equal

Answer 4

greatest common factor = 2x
divide 2x into 14x + 18x^2 gives you whats in the parentheses

Answer 5

14x+8x^2
Find common coefficient factors
2(7x+4x^2)=(2*(7x)+2(2x^2))
Find common variable factors
2x(7+4x)

The laws of exponents show that when we divide common factors division is treated as subtraction \[x^2/x =x^{2-1}=x\]

Answer 6

Thanks guys.

Answer 7

18x^2 + 14x = 2x ( 9x + 7)
