8x3^y2^ – 12x2^y3^ + 20x2^y2^

Answer 1

It just means the greatest common factor of the 3 terms

Answer 2

Should be 4x^2y^2

Answer 3

Ah that seems to be in one of the choices , but i must as how did u figuere it out ?

Answer 4

Did you learn factorisation?

Answer 5

An example
6 + 3 = 3(2 + 1)
Another example
6x + 3x = 3x(2 + 1)
More example
6xy + 3xy = 3xy(2 + 1)
6x^2y + 3xy = 3xy(2x + 1)
6x^2y^3 + 3x^3y^2 = 3x^2y^2(2y + x)

Answer 6
