Identify Common Factor: Identify the common factor in both terms of the expression.The expression is 6x(x−5)+7(x−5). Both terms have a common factor of (x−5).
Factor Out Common Factor: Factor out the common factor from both terms.We can write the expression as (x−5) multiplied by the sum of the coefficients of (x−5), which are 6x and 7.So, 6x(x−5)+7(x−5)=(x−5)(6x+7).
Check Factored Expression: Check the factored expression by distributing (x−5) across (6x+7) to ensure it results in the original expression.(x−5)(6x+7)=6x(x−5)+7(x−5), which is the original expression.
