Question

Identify the greatest common factor of 4(s−3)+s(s−3) Write the expression in factored form Submit QuestionQuestion 2

Answer 1

We have the next expression

`4(s-3)+s(s-3)`

And we must find the greatest common factor

`\begin{gathered} 4(s-3)+s(s-3) \\ \text{ The common factor that we can see is (s - 3)} \\ \text{ So, the greatest common factor is } \\ (s-3) \end{gathered}`

Then, we must write the expression in factored form

`\begin{gathered} 4(s-3)+s(s-3) \\ \text{ Using the common factor (s - 3)} \\ (4+s)(s-3) \end{gathered}`

So, the factored form is

`(4+s)(s-3)`

ANSWERS:

1.

`s-3`

2.

`(s-3)(4+s)`
