Exercise 5 Page 174

Try to factor out as much as possible from pairs of terms with common factors.

(3x+4)(6x-1)

Practice makes perfect

Recall that to factor a quadratic trinomial of the form ax^2+bx+c, where |a| ≠ 1, we always try to rewrite the middle term ,bx, as two terms. In this case, the middle term is already written as two terms. 18x^2-3x+24x-4 Therefore, we can go straight to factoring the expression.

18x^2-3x+24x-4

FactorOut

Factor out 3x

3x(6x-1)+24x-4

FactorOut

Factor out 4

3x(6x-1)+4(6x-1)

FactorOut

Factor out (6x-1)

(3x+4)(6x-1)
