Factor 2x+6

Problem

2*x+6

Solution

1. Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms 2*x and 6

2. Determine that the GCF is 2 since 2 divides evenly into both 2 and 6

3. Factor out the 2 from each term by dividing 2*x by 2 and 6 by 2

4. Rewrite the expression as the product of the GCF and the remaining terms inside parentheses.

Final Answer

2*x+6=2*(x+3)
