Question

Factor. 11x+10x^2

Answer 1

what do you think is the GCF (greatest common factor) of 11x and 10 x^2?

Answer 2

Uh...

Answer 3

1x? idk

Answer 4

GCF is the greatest term which divides into these 2 terms
example GCF of
2x and 4x = 2x

Answer 5

yes thats right - only you don't need the 1 - its just x

Answer 6

so take out x and divide this into 11x and 10x^2 and the results of the division go into the parentheses
11x / x = 11 and
10x^2 / x = 10x
so we get the factors:

x(11 + 10x)
