i needed to edit this question :p

Answer 1

can you find the GCF of 6x^2 and 4x

Answer 2

What does GCF stand for?

Answer 3

greatest common factor

Answer 4

Remember what I showed you earlier? I went through all of the factors, starting with one, until I found the right one? You have to find the GCF the same way. What is the lowest factor that they share that isn't 1?

Answer 5

Meaning what is the lowest number by which both 6x and 4x can be divided?

Answer 6

Yes, and is that also the highest?

Answer 7

I think I done goofed. Forgot there was an exponent.

Answer 8

I. Am. Such. An. Idiot.

Answer 9

Step 1) Factor 6x^2 into 2*3*x*x


Step 2) Factor 4x into 2*2*x


Notice how we have \(\Large \color{red}{2}\) and \(\Large \color{blue}{x}\) in common


\[\Large 6x^2 = \color{red}{2}*3*x*\color{blue}{x}\]

\[\Large 4x = \color{red}{2}*2*\color{blue}{x}\]


multiply out \(\Large \color{red}{2}\) and \(\Large \color{blue}{x}\) to get 2*x = 2x


So the GCF of 6x^2 and 4x is 2x

Answer 10

I'm embarrassed as heck. I'm too tired to brain this properly.. I'm so sorry haha.

Answer 11

then as @DangerousJesse is saying, we can divide each term by 2x

6x^2 divided by 2x = \(\Large \color{red}{3x}\)
4x divided by 2x = \(\Large \color{blue}{2}\)

so that's why

\[\Large 6x^2 + 4x = 2x(\color{red}{3x}+\color{blue}{2})\]

Answer 12

you can distribute to check

2x*(3x+2) = 2x*3x + 2x*2 = 6x^2 + 4x

Answer 13

@DangerousJesse Donʻt worry, happens to all of thus. Except @jim_thompson5910 heʻs a robot programmed to be perfect :)
