Identify Factors: Identify common factors in the terms of the expression. The expression is 7x+6x2. Both terms have an x in common. Additionally, we can look for numerical factors that are common to both coefficients, 7 and 6. There are no common numerical factors other than 1.
Factor Out Common Variable: Factor out the common variable factor. Since both terms have an x, we can factor x out of the expression. This gives us x(7+6x).
Check Further Factorization: Check if the expression inside the parentheses can be factored further. The expression inside the parentheses is 7+6x, which cannot be factored further since 7 and 6 have no common factors and the terms are not part of a special product or sum.
Write Completely Factored Expression: Write down the completely factored expression. The expression 7x+6x2 is completely factored as x(7+6x).
