Please help!

Factor the following Expression

10x + 60

Answer 1

What is the greatest common factor of 10 and 60?

Answer 2

(although I don't really see the point in factoring this expression)

Answer 3

idk tbh idc.... no one teaches very well

Answer 4

Well think of it as what is the greatest number you can divide 10 and 60 by and still have a whole number

Answer 5

what could make 10? 1,2,5
what could make 60? 1,2,3,4, 5
now the highest number these share is 5. the GCF of 10 and 60 is 5

Answer 6

Umm @Study312 the GCF is not that
Think higher
You forgot that 10 is also a factor of 10

Answer 7

oh yeah crap

Answer 8

^That's what I was thinking

Answer 9

so the GCF is 10

Answer 10

Thx for catching me on that

Answer 11

Yep,. now factor out the 10 by putting it on the outside, like this 10(?x + ?)
What is 10 divided by 10? What is 60 divided by 10?

Answer 12

she is offline

Answer 13

Although like you said @StudyGurl14, I really don't see the point in factoring this

Answer 14

so the answer is 0 because there is no point? it's a trick question isn't it?

Answer 15

No, the anwer is not 0.

Answer 16

But yeah, there really is no point in factoring out constants in this application

Answer 17

^ just because there isn't a point doesn't mean there isn't an answer

Answer 18

it was a joke
