Question

Write the polynomial as a product
3m–mk+3k–k2
giving 20 points need help

Answer 1

(3 -k)(m +k)

Explanation:

Group the terms in pairs, factor each pair, then pull out the common factor from that result.

(3m -mk) +(3k -k²)

= m(3 -k) +k(3 -k) . . . . . (3-k) is a factor common to both terms

= (3 -k)(m +k)
