next time maybe give a problem so that could help but i will make a few up
like if you had
2a+4a
GCF=2a
steps:
find GCF (greatest common factor)
if there are letters in the promblem find the lowest exponet and add that on to the GCF
divide everything by the GCF and that would look like
2a/2a=1 because the a's cancle out
4a/2a=2 a's cancle out aging
so the awnser would be 2a(1+4) you always recopy the sign no matter wat it is!
so.. we will do one more
* whene i put ^ it will mean the number after it is a exponet
6a^3b+24ab^2
GCF=6ab
6a^3b/6ab=1a^2
24ab^2/6ab=4b
6ab(1a^2+4b)
here is one for you to try at home
8x^3y-16x^2y^3
e-mail me the anser at tmarienatree@yahoo.com and i will tell you if it is right
sry that was so confussing!
