Question

M1=(17x+1) and m2=(20x-14) find m2

Answer 1

M2 = 2(10x−7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).

GCF = 22

2 Factor out the GCF. (Write the GCF first. Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF.)

2(\frac{20x}{2}-\frac{14}{2})2(

)

3 Simplify each term in parentheses.

2(10x-7)2(10x−7)
