So now we factor out the GCF so put the GCF as the first term and then in teh parentheses divide each term by the GCF
\[3x (\frac{ 3x2 }{ 3x }+\frac{ -48x }{ 3x }\]
jagr2713 (jagr2713):
So now we Simplify each term in parentheses and get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 2+ 16x?
jagr2713 (jagr2713):
nope we simplify each term in parentheses and get
3x(x2-16)

So this ik you remember so we have x2−16 fits the form a2−b2
Rewrite it where a=x and b=4
3x(x2−42)
jagr2713 (jagr2713):
So now use the difference of squares \[a ^{2}-b ^{2}=(a+b)(a-b)\]
jagr2713 (jagr2713):
Plug it in :D

(x+4)(x-4)
