Answer:
c) is the right answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The Skills needed are: GCF, Division, and Factoring</u>
If you want a product of 2 factors, and you have 2 variables, one of the factors will be a number.
Here we have:
12x + 18y-60
1) We need to find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of all coefficients (12,18, and 60)
-12's factors are: 1,2,3,4,6,12
-18's factors are: 1,2,3,6,9,18
-60's factors are: 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60
The GCF, or the biggest factor all these numbers share is: 6
2) So we can take out the 6 from all of these.
-12x/6=2x
-18y/6=3y
-60/6=10
Our new expression with the 6 taken out would be: 6(2x + 3y - 10)
The only answer that has this is c)
