Question

Please help
12​x2+20-3x−5
Factor out the GCF from the entire expression

Answer 1

I WILL FIRST GROUP THE LIKE TERMS AND SIMPLIFY THEM BEFORE FACTORISING

IT IS VITAL TO SIMPLIFY LIKE TERMS BEFORE FACTORISING.

`12 {x}^(2) - 3x + 20 - 5 \\ = 12 {x}^(2) - 3x + 15`

THE GCF IN THE EXPRESSION IS 3 MEANING WE WILL DIVIDE EACH AND EVERY TERM IN THE P

EXPRESSION BY 3

`= 3(4 {x}^(2) - x + 5)`

HOPE THIS HELPS.
