Factor 2x^2+6x

Problem

2*x2+6*x

Solution

1. Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms 2*x2 and 6*x

2. Determine the numerical GCF by finding the largest number that divides both 2 and 6 which is 2

3. Determine the variable GCF by finding the lowest power of x present in both terms, which is x1 or x

4. Factor out the combined GCF, 2*x from each term by dividing.

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

Final Answer

2*x2+6*x=2*x*(x+3)
