6ax^2+6ax+6a

Eiwoh2:

I'm guessing this is factoring..

563blackghost:

Are you trying to factor?

kendra4640:

it is called Factoring Algebraic Expressions

Eiwoh2:

Correct. You want to help, @563blackghost ?

563blackghost:

okie. Well u need to identify the GCF of the equation. You have. \(\large\bf{6ax^2+6ax+6a}\) What does each term have in common?

kendra4640:

I think the answer would be 6ax^2+6a

kendra4640:

or 6a

563blackghost:

Not quite. With factoring there are many ways to getting the factor, one way is by grouping. You identify a common factor that each term has. Let's look at it individually... \(\large\bf{6ax^2: 6a \times x^{2}}\) \(\large\bf{6ax: 6a \times x}\) \(\large\bf{6a:6a}\) What factor do each share?

kendra4640:

Yea nvm thank you for your help I got the right answer 6a
