Solution 1

  • 6x² + 34x -12
  • 6x² + 36x -2x -12
  • 6x(x+6)-2(x+6)
  • (6x-2)(x+6)

Solution 2

  • 48c²-160c+100
  • 12c² - 40c + 25
  • 12c² - 30c -10c + 25
  • 6c(2c-5) -5(2c-5)
  • (6c-5)(2c-5)

Solution 3

  • -6x-51xy+27xy²
  • 3x(-2-17y+9y²)
  • 3x(-2-18y+y+9y²)
  • 3x(-2(1+9y)+y(1+9y))
  • 3x(9y+1)(y-2)
