Answer:
x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 1 + 4x - 11
First, you want to combine like terms.
We can see that the one and eleven can go together, so add them together.
2x + 4x - 12
The reason that we made one, and eleven, negative twelve, is because they are both being subtracted from the numbers before that.
6x - 12
We added the 2x, and the 4x together to make 6x.
Another way to write this would be x - 2, because you can simplify it by dividing it by 6.
The greatest common factor is the largest factor that both terms share.
First, start with the coefficients, 14 and 28. The largest factor they both share is 14. 14 x 1 = 14, 14 x 2 = 28.
Next we move to the variables, abc and a²b²c³. The largest factor the both share is abc, all to the power of 1.
So, your GCF and final answer is 14abc
I would say smaller than because you would be dilating the image by a number less than 1, which is making the image smaller.
