Answer:

6c - 8d = 2 (3c - 4d)

Explanation:

Factoring

To factor a polynomial, we must find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) among all its terms.

The expression to factor is 6c - 8d.

The GCD is found by factoring all terms:

6c : 2,3,c

8d : 2,2,2,d

And take the common divisor between the coefficients and the variables

GCD=2

Thus, the factorization is:

6c - 8d = 2 (3c - 4d)
