Question

factor
8a^2b^2c-1^ab^2c-192b^2c

Answer 1

first try to simplify the equation by taking out a common term..
whats a term that all three sets have in common?

Answer 2

c(8a^2b^2-192B^2-1)

Answer 3

8

Answer 4

its not 8, because the second set -1ab^2c does not have an 8

Answer 5

is it like
8abc(ab-2b-24b)

Answer 6

not quite, you can't take the 8 out because it's not common for all three sets

Answer 7

mmm..........i dont think sooo

Answer 8

its some thing like i wrote...

Answer 9

look at the sets independently:
8a^2b^2c-1^ab^2c-192b^2c
\[8a^2b^2c\]\[-1^2ab^2c\]\[-192b^2c\]
what do these three sets have in common?

Answer 10

c

Answer 11

yes, and what else?

Answer 12

ab

Answer 13

a is not common because the last term -192b^2c does not have an a
and b is common, but you're missing a part of it

when i say what is common, i mean what is the same in each set?

Answer 14

b^2

Answer 15

exactly! and your first answer was right too, so there's b^2c
try factoring that out of the equation

Answer 16

so can u give me the answer please
