Question

Factor 35r + 40s - 30t. Write your answer as a product with a whole number greater than 1.

Answer 1

5(7r+8s-6t)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:

`35r+40s-30t`

The greatest common factor of 35, 40 and 30 = 5

Therefore:

`\begin{gathered} 35r+40s-30t=5\mleft((35r)/(5)+(40s)/(5)-(30t)/(5)\mright) \\ =5(7r+8s-6t) \end{gathered}`
