Question

(b) Factorise fully. 10x²+6x

Answer 1

Answer:

2x(5x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor out common factors. Note that both terms have x inside it. Therefore, you will factor out one x from each term.

Note the factors of both 10 & 6:

10: 1 , 2 , 5, 10

6: 1 , 2 , 3, 6

Note that the greatest factor shared is 2. Divide 2 and x out from both terms:

(10x² + 6x)/2x = 5x + 3

2x(5x + 3) is your answer.
