Question

Will factor the express 36xyz + 24xy − 16x by dividing each term by a common fact

Answer 1

$\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto 36xyz+24xy-16x$

• Divide by 4

$\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto \dfrac{36xyz}{4}+\dfrac{24xy}{4}-\dfrac{16x}{4}$

$\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto 9xyz+6xy-4x$

• Divide by x

$\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto \dfrac{9xyz}{x}+\dfrac{6xy}{x}-\dfrac{4x}{x}$

$\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto 9yz+6y-4$

Answer 2

Answer:

4x(9yz + 6y - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

36xyz + 24xy - 16x ← factor out 4x from each term

= 4x(9yz + 6y - 4)
