Front

What is the first step in factoring an algebraic expression?

Back

The first step in factoring an algebraic expression is to identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms.

Front

How do you factor the expression 16w + 80m?

Back

To factor 16w + 80m, identify the GCF, which is 16, and factor it out to get 16(w + 5m).

Front

What is the GCF of the terms 28a and 14b?

Back

The GCF of 28a and 14b is 14.

Front

How do you factor the expression 28a - 14b?

Back

To factor 28a - 14b, factor out the GCF, which is 14, to get 14(2a - b).

Front

What is the GCF of the terms 35c and 15d?

Back

The GCF of 35c and 15d is 5.

Front

How do you factor the expression 35c - 15d?

Back

To factor 35c - 15d, factor out the GCF, which is 5, to get 5(7c - 3d).

Front

What does it mean to combine like terms in an expression?

Back

Combining like terms means to add or subtract terms that have the same variable raised to the same power.

Front

What is the simplified form of d + d + d + 3 + 2?

Back

The simplified form is 3d + 5.
