how do you factor 2y(x-4)+6(x-4)

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

what common factor do you see in the 2 terms...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont really know..

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

nope... how about (x - 4) does that make sense...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what i was thinking at first but i didnt if it was right

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ok.... so if you remove (x -4) whats left...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2y+6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so is it gonna be (2y+6)(x-4)

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

that's it so the factored form is (x -4)(2y +6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
