Question

Factorise 2x squared +6x

Answer 1

Hey there.

When we are factoring binomials, it's significant that we ensure that we simplify our terms in the end, so let's work our way there.

2x^2 + 6x.

First, let's look for any terms that we have in common. As both of our coefficients are even numbers and have a variable, we can divide them by at least 2x. Divide both terms by 2x.

2x(x + 3) is now our answer, and is our fully factored answer.

I hope this helps.
