Q. Factor 30−6v−18w to identify the equivalent expressions.Choose 2 answers:A 2(15−12v)B 3(10−3v+6w)c 6(5−v−3w)D 2(15−3v−9w)
Identify GCF of terms: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms in the expression 30−6v−18w.The GCF of 30, −6v, and −18w is 6.
Factor out GCF from each term: Factor out the GCF from each term in the expression. 30−6v−18w=6(5)−6(v)−6(3w)=6(5−v−3w)
Check factored expression: Check the factored expression against the given choices.The factored expression is 6(5−v−3w), which matches choice C.
Verify other equivalent expressions: Verify if there is another equivalent expression among the choices.None of the other choices, A, B, or D, match the factored expression 6(5−v−3w) when simplified.
