i still am confused

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Its quite hard for me to explain this but I tried....the factorization would be.... \(\LARGE{10(x+6)}\) Because 10 is a factor of 60 and 10x...

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Another way is that you would divide by 10 to get x by itself to get the simplified equation.... \[\Large\frac{ 10x+60 }{ 10 }=x+6=10(x+6)\]

Do you kinda get what I am saying?
