Factor 11x-2

Problem

11*x−2

Solution

1. Identify the terms in the expression, which are 11*x and −2

2. Determine the greatest common factor (GCF) of the coefficients 11 and 2

3. Observe that 11 is a prime number and does not share any common factors with 2 other than 1

4. Conclude that since there are no common variables or numerical factors greater than 1 the expression cannot be factored further using rational numbers.

Final Answer

11*x−2=11*x−2
