Question

Factor the gcf 6x^2 - 2x

Answer 1

We have to factorize the expression:

`6x^2-2x`

We start by dividing it by 2x:

`6x^2-2x=2x((6x^2)/(2x)-(2x)/(2x))=2x(3x-1)`

Then, we can divide it by 3:

`2x\cdot3\cdot((3x)/(3)-(1)/(3))=6x(x-(1)/(3))`

Answer: the factorized expression is 6x*(x-1/3)
