Question

Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements about factoring 14x2 + 6x – 7x – 3 by grouping. The GCF of the group (14x2 – 7x) is . The GCF of the group (6x – 3) is . The common binomial factor is . The factored expression is

Answer 1

14 x² + 6 x - 7 x - 3 =
= ( 14 x² - 7 x ) + ( 6 x - 3 ) =
= 7 x ( 2 x - 1 ) + 3 ( 2 x - 1 ) =
= ( 2 x - 1 ) ( 7 x + 3 )
Answer:
1.  GCF of the group ( 6 x - 3 ) is 3.
2.  The common binomial factor is 2 x - 1.
3.  The factored expression is:  ( 2 x - 1 ) ( 7 x + 3 ).
