Question

Factor 30x–20.
Write your answer as a product with a whole number greater than 1

Answer 1

10(3x - 2)

Explanation:

10 is the largest factor common to both 30 and 20, so we begin by factoring that 10 out:

10(3x - 2)

While this 10 can be factored, there's no point in doing so.

That leaves us with 10(3x - 2) as the desired product.

Answer 2

10(3x-2)

divide both by 10. put 10 outside and the divided number in the order that they appear.
