Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Determine the GCF of the numbers 96 and 88
=> Decompose each number in their prime numbers:
=> 96 = (2^5)(3)
=> 88 = (2^3) (11)
=> GCF of 96 and 88 = 2^3 = 8
2) Determine the GCF of the letters, x^2 and x
=> x
3) Conclude the GCF of the terms is 8x
4) Now you can factor the expression by dividing each term by the GCF, 8x:
96 x^2 / (8x) = 12x
88x / (8x) = 11
The factored form is (8x) (12x + 11)
