1 Factor completely: 3ab(x + 1) − 2(x + 1)

a. Prime

b. (x + 1)(3ab + 2)

c. (x + 1)(3ab − 2)

d. (x + 1)(ab)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Question 2 (Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)

Factor completely: 3ab − 5ax + 9b − 15x

a. (3b + 5x)(a + 3)

b. (3b − 5x)(a + 3)

c. (3b − 5x)(a − 3)

d. Prime

Question 3 (Multipl

Answer 1

what do 3ab(x + 1) and − 2(x + 1) have in common?

Answer 2

the (x+1)

Answer 3

so you can factor that out to get

(3ab - 2)(x+1)

Answer 4

and of course, order of multiplication doesn't matter

so

(3ab - 2)(x+1)

is the same as

(x+1)(3ab - 2)

Answer 5

ohhhh ok

Answer 6

so what would be a prime answer?

Answer 7

if you can't factor it at all

Answer 8

but that's not the case here since we can factor

Answer 9

ohh ok so like #2 would be a prime?

Answer 10

no

Answer 11

we can actually factor #2 as well

Answer 12

uggg ok how would u do that one?

Answer 13

I'll do a bit of it to get you going

Answer 14

3ab - 5ax + 9b - 15x


a(3b - 5x) + 9b - 15x


a(3b - 5x) + 3(3b - 5x)
