Find the greatest common factor of the terms in the following expression 18x+12xy​

Mathematics

<h3>Answer:   6x</h3>

=============================================

Explanation:

Ignoring the variables for now, the GCF of 18 and 12 is 6. This is the largest factor found in both values

  • 18 = 6*3
  • 12 = 6*2

Now let's consider the variables. Both terms have an 'x' in them, but not a y. This means x will be tacked on the 6 we found earlier to get the overall GCF to be 6x.

Note how

18x + 12xy = 6x*3+6x*2y = 6x(3+2y)

Showing we can factor out the GCF using the distributive property.

Circle the problems below that you could use mental math to solve.
SashulF [63]
I think this is more of an opinion question. What someone could solve mentally may not be the same as someone else's.If it were my worksheet, I'd circle all of them but it may be different for you.
At your level, I'd probably circle:
54 - 10
93 - 20
and 39 - 2

add 12 to both sides

36 = 3x

divide each side by 3 and you will get 12
