Question

Factor the given expression by determining any common monomial factorsthat may exist 6k2m - 3k + 9km2 - 12k2m2

Answer 1

ANSWER

$=3k\left(3m^2+2km-4km^2-1\right)$

EXPLANATION

Given;

$6k^2m-3k+9km^2-12k^2m^2$

The common factor is 3k;

Hence, factor out the common term;

$\begin{gathered} =3k\left(2mk-1+3m^2-4m^2k\right) \\ =3k\left(3m^2+2km-4km^2-1\right) \end{gathered}$
