QuestionFactor out the GCF in the polynomial. 24x1824 x-18

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are given a polynomial expression 24x18 24x - 18 .
2. We need to factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the terms.

STEP 2

1. Identify the GCF of the coefficients in the polynomial.
2. Factor out the GCF from the polynomial.

STEP 3

Identify the GCF of the coefficients 24 and 18.
- The factors of 24 are: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 . - The factors of 18 are: 1,2,3,6,9,18 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18 .
The greatest common factor is 6 6 .

STEP 4

Factor out the GCF from the polynomial 24x18 24x - 18 .
24x18=6(4x)6(3) 24x - 18 = 6(4x) - 6(3)
=6(4x3) = 6(4x - 3)
The polynomial factored with the GCF is:
6(4x3) \boxed{6(4x - 3)}
