Question

Factorise 5x 2 + 20x

Answer 1

5x^2 + 20x = 5x(x + 4)

Explanation:

Here, we want to factorize;

5x^2 + 20x

To do this, we start by writing the common factors

The common actor that we can see which is in the form of the gcf of both is 5x

Thus, the factorization will be;

5x^2 + 20x = 5x( x + 4)
