Question

Rewrite each expression by factoring out the coefficient of the variable.​

Answer 1

To rewrite each expression by factoring out the coefficient of the variable, first determine the coefficient and then factor it out from each term. Finally, write the factored expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Identify the coefficient of the variable in each expression.
2. Factor out the coefficient from each term.
3. Write the factored expression.

Answer 2

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

10x - 45 ← factor out 10 from each term

= 10(x - 4.5)

(b)

- 2x + 3 ← factor out - 2 from each term

= - 2(x - 1.5)

(c)

- x + 4 ← factor out - 1 from each term

= - 1(x - 4)

(d)

- x - 19 ← factor out - 1 from each term

= - 1(x + 19)
