Answer: 16(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation: When you're asked to a polynomial, the first thing you want to look for is the greatest common factor between the terms that are involved.

So what is the greatest common factor of 16x and 48?

The greatest common factor of 16x and 48 is 16 because

it's the largest number that divides evenly into 16 and 48.

The x does not qualify because it must appear in every term

to qualify for the GCF but here, it only appears in one term.

So a 16 factors out leaving us with each term divided by it

inside a set of parentheses so w eget 16(x + 3).

Notice that if we distributed the 16 through both terms,

we would end up with our original polynomial.

Simplify the expression x^2+3x-28/x^2-7x+12

EleoNora [17]

X^2 + 3x - 28 factors to (X+7)(X-4)
X^2 - 7X + 12 factors to (X-4)(X-3)
Now we see that the equation is [(X+7)(X-4)]/[(X-4)(X-3)]
By dividing the top and bottom by (X-4), we see that the equation equals (X+7)/(X-3).
