Factor Linear Expressions (A)

Front

What is the process of factoring linear expressions?

Back

Factoring linear expressions involves rewriting the expression as a product of its factors, which can include numbers and variables.

Front

What is the factored form of the expression 54x + 15y - 9?

Back

3(18x + 5y - 3)

Front

Can the expression 7x - 20 be factored?

Back

No, it cannot be factored.

Front

What does it mean when an expression cannot be factored?

Back

It means that the expression does not have common factors or cannot be expressed as a product of simpler expressions.

Front

How do you determine if a linear expression can be factored?

Back

Check for common factors among the terms of the expression.

What is the factored form of the expression 50x - 60y?

Back

10(5x - 6y)

Front

What is a linear expression?

Back

A linear expression is an algebraic expression in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and a single variable.

Front

What is the greatest common factor (GCF)?

Back

The greatest common factor is the largest factor that divides all the terms in an expression.
