QuestionFactor out the greatest common factor from the expression .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. We are asked to factor the greatest common factor (GCF) from the expression.
2. The expression is a polynomial with three terms: , , and .
3. The GCF is the largest expression that divides each term of the polynomial without leaving a remainder.
STEP 2
1. Identify the greatest common factor of the coefficients in the expression.
2. Factor out the greatest common factor from the expression.
STEP 3
