Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Student 2 is right. One way to factor equations is to find the greatest common factor, and take it out of the parentheses.
Let's "dissect" the equation:
6a -2b ---- when working with polynomials, you can have a variable as GCF. But in this case, there is no common variable between the two numbers. However, both number are multiples of 2, which is going to be our GCF> Divide both terms by 2, 6a/ 2 = 3a; -2b/2 = -b. So, we can rewrite our equation as follows: 2(3a - b).
