The greatest common factor is 6. Thus means we divide every part of the expression by 6.
6x^2/6 = x^2
42x/6 = 7x
-18/6 = -3
Your new expression is 6(x^2 + 7x -3).
Notice this is a geometric progression since each number multiplied by some factor equals the next number in the sequence, in this case,

Then by applying the formula for sum to infinity of a geometric progression,
She could switch them around by grouping them into groups of 4s, 3s, 2s, or 5s.
Answer:
<h3>X=5/31=0.16</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate x on one side of the equation.
4x+27x=31x (Combine like terms, group like terms, & Add.)
31x=5
31x/31=5/31 (Divide by 31 from both sides.)
5/31=0.16
x=5/31=0.16
In conclusion, the correct answer is x=5/31=0.16.
