Factoring Expressions Worksheet

Directions: Factor each expression. If the expression cannot be factored, write prime. 1. Factor the expression 7x + 7.

• 7(x + 1)

• 7x

• prime

• 7

Factor the expression 4k + 20.

• 4(k + 5)

• 2(2k + 10)

• k(4 + 20/k)

• None of the above

Factor the expression 5m - 15.

• 5(m - 3)

• 5(m + 3)

• 5m(1 - 3)

• 5(m - 15)

Factor the expression 12w + 24.

• 12(w + 2)

• 6(2w + 4)

• 4(3w + 6)

• 3(4w + 8)

Factor the expression 2p - 9.

• (2)(p - 9)

• 2(p - 4.5)

• (p - 9)(2)

• Cannot be factored further

Factor the expression 10v + 45.

• 5(2v + 9)

• 2(5v + 9)

• 10(v + 4.5)

• None of the above

Factor the expression 8r + 15.

• (4r + 3)(2r + 5)

• (8r + 3)(r + 5)

• (8r + 15)

• (2r + 3)(4r + 5)

Factor the expression 24y - 40.

• 4(6y - 10)

• 8(3y - 5)

• 2(12y - 20)

• 6(4y - 6.67)

Simplify, then factor each expression: -15 + 11m - m + 5.

• 5(2m-2)

• (m - 1)(10)

• 10m + 1

• (m + 2)(5)

Simplify, then factor each expression: 16r + 2s - (6r + 8s) + 4r.

• 14r - 6s

• 10r + 6s

• 14r + 6s

• 10r - 6s
