factoring:18c^2+24c

OpenStudy (aripotta):

what's the gcf between 18c^2 and 24c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18 0r 2?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

18 isn't a factor of 24

OpenStudy (aripotta):

i believe the gcf is 6c

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so... 6c(3c + 4)

OpenStudy (aripotta):

and that should be it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (aripotta):

do you understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did 3c + 4 come from?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

the gcf is 6c, yes? so 18/6 = 3. 24/6 = 4. therefore, 6c(3c + 4). if you distribute, you'll see that it's correct :D
