Question 64450This question is from textbook beginning algebra
: 59. r(r-2s)-s(2s-r)
61. a(x-4)-b(x-4)
the instructions says to factor out the greatest common factor and write the expression in factored form. use the distributive property to verify the ans.
the ans given for both polynomial are 59. (r-2s)r+s) and 61 (x-4)(a-b)
Please help me with this to solve I AM NOT SURE OF THE STEPS THANKS This question is from textbook beginning algebra
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 59. r(r-2s)-s(2s-r)
The common factor is r-2s
Remember: 2s-r= -(r-2s)
= (r-2s)(r+s)
----------------
61. a(x-4)-b(x-4)
The common factor is x-4
=(x-4)(a-b)
----------------
