You can put this solution on YOUR website! Be more specific. Give a real example.
Factoring lets us re-arrange a complex system as a bunch of linked, smaller systems.
Factoring a quadratic expression involves reversing the distributive property of multiplication over addition, the result being the product of two linear factors.
