Question 319189


{{{6a-6b+ax-bx}}} Start with the given expression



{{{(6a-6b)+(ax-bx)}}} Group like terms



{{{6(a-b)+x(a-b)}}} Factor out the GCF {{{6}}} out of the first group. Factor out the GCF {{{x}}} out of the second group



{{{(6+x)(a-b)}}} Since we have the common term {{{a-b}}}, we can combine like terms



So {{{6a-6b+ax-bx}}} factors to {{{(6+x)(a-b)}}}



In other words, {{{6a-6b+ax-bx=(6+x)(a-b)}}}
