How do you factor an equation that in brackets has an equation that isn't common? For example: 4c(3d-2)- 3(3d+2) the two equations in brackets are not common so therefore I can not pull them down and create two bracketed equations, so how do I factor this?

OpenStudy (phi):

you are correct, you can't factor it. Maybe it's a typo and the second (3d+2) is really (3d-2) ? (or the first is (3d+2) )

hmmm hold the mayo

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm shoot... missed something.... lemme remove that

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

the expansion should have been \(\bf 4c(3d-2)- 3(3d+2) \implies 12cd-8c-9d-6\) though, either way, no dice on the common factor for the binomials anyway so... you can't in short :)
