The dimensions of the prism can be 2x, 2x+3 and x+6.
We first factor out the GCF of the trinomial. The GCF of the coefficients is 2. Each term has an x in common as well, so the GCF is 2x.
Factoring out the 2x, we have
2x(2x²+15x+18).
To factor the remaining trinomial, we find factors of 2*18=36 that sum to 15. 12*3 = 36 and 12+3 = 15. We split up 15x into 12x and 3x:
2x(2x²+12x+3x+18)
Now we group together the first two terms in parentheses and the last two:
2x((2x²+12x)+(3x+18))
Factor out the GCF of the first group:
2x(2x(x+6)+(3x+18))
Factor out the GCF of the second group:
2x(2x(x+6)+3(x+6))
Factoring out what these have in common,
2x(x+6)(2x+3)
Answer: c
Step-by-step explanation:
6/15 and 12/18 are ratios of 2/3
The greatest common factor is...
5a
I got this by...
10: 1,2,5,10
15: 1,3,5,15
25: 1,5,25
The GCF is 5 for the numbers.
For the a's, it's...
a: a
a^3: a×a×a
a^6: a×a×a×a×a×a
The GFC is a.
Then multiple 5 and a, and you get...
5a
The GFC is...
5a
