Factoring our the GCF when it is an expression

The video tutorial explains how to factor expressions using the greatest common factor (GCF). It begins by introducing the concept of factoring with GCF, then moves on to identifying common expressions within the given expressions. The process of factoring out the common expression is demonstrated, followed by verification of the results. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the steps involved in factoring using GCF.

What is the first step in factoring using the GCF?

• Multiply all terms by the GCF.

• Identify the common expression in the terms.

• Subtract the GCF from each term.

• Add the terms together.

When factoring out a common expression, what operation is performed on each term?

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Division

• Multiplication

After factoring out the common expression, what should be left inside the parentheses?

• The simplified terms

• The sum of the terms

• The GCF

• The original expression

How can you verify that the factored expression is correct?

• By adding the terms back together

• By multiplying the factored expression to get the original expression

• By dividing the factored expression by the GCF

• By subtracting the terms from each other

What is the result of multiplying the factored expression by 6X and then by -5?

• A new expression

• The original expression

• A simplified expression

• An incorrect expression
