Question

Which expression is a factor of 3xy + 2x – 18y – 12?
Answer







x + 6








3x – 2y








2 + 3y








x + 3

Answer 1

@LaronJaxon , we have
\[3xy + 2x – 18y – 12\]
We need to factor this, then we'll be able to tell the correct answer
Notice the first two terms, there is x in both, take x common from both the terms, and write what do you get?

Answer 2

2+3y?

Answer 3

3xy + 2x – 18y – 12
x(3y+2) - 6(3y+2)
(3y+2)(x-6)
2+3y is a factor of 3xy + 2x – 18y – 12
