3. Write the following equations in factored form. Remember to common factor first
(if possible).
𝑦 = 6𝑥 + 42
𝑦 = 6(𝑥+7)
To write the equation 𝑦 = 6𝑥 + 42 in factored form, let's start by factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the terms 6𝑥 and 42.
The GCF of 6𝑥 and 42 is 6.
So, we can rewrite the equation as:
𝑦 = 6(𝑥 + 7)
Therefore, the factored form of the equation 𝑦 = 6𝑥 + 42 is 𝑦 = 6(𝑥 + 7).
