Question

8x+6 factorise fully

Answer 1

2(4x+3)

Explanation:

We need to find what is the most common between 8x and 6. The only number here is 2 that is common between them.

That will be on the outside of the bracket.

So if we divide 2 from both terms.

8x ÷ 2 = 4x

6 ÷ 2 = 3

Let's put it all together.

2 first.

Our x term and 3 in brackets.

2 (4x+3)

There we go!
