Let's assume we were given 2 numbers: 15 and 30. Their sum is:

We want to express it as the product of GCF and another sum.
15 is divisible by: 1, 3, 5, 15
30 is divisible by: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
The greatest number that appears in 2 series is 15.


In this case sum of two numbers can always be written as:
Answer:
2x-10
Step-by-step explanation:
3x2+2x-16
6+2x-16
