Question

Factor the following polynomial 14x^2 - 35x

Answer 1

The binomial 14
`x^(2)` - 35x can be factored as 7x(2x+5)

Explanation:

When factoring, you want to factor each constant or variable by their greatest common factor (or GCF). Since
`14x^(2)` and
`35x` has a greatest common factor of 7x, factor each term by 7x and you'll get
`7x(2x+5)`.
