Factoring GCF

term that can be factored out af all terms? Group the first two and last po terms. Feetor out the GCF 2x*+ 42x-3x- 18
of both, which should result in the same binomial, (x 4 2) 2x(x + G}- 3{x + 4}, then combine cuter terms
ab + bc = bla +c) GCF=b
Re-write with the GCF terms oe} and (—3) as ene binomial
4x + TOxy = 2x(2 + Sy) GCF = 2x 623) and the double binomial (x 4 2) as the other. Answer: (2x - 3)(x + 6)
