factor 6-4t
I did the last two problems for you. Now it's your turn.
I'll be glad to check your answer.
6 - 4 t = 2 ( 3 - 2 t ) = 2 ( - 2 t + 3 ) = - 2 ( 2 t - 3 )
To factor the expression 6-4t, you can look for any common factors that can be factored out. In this case, there are no common factors among the terms. However, you can still simplify the expression by rearranging it.
The expression 6-4t can be rearranged as -4t + 6. This helps us to identify that the expression is a difference of two terms, -4t and 6.
Now, we can factor out the common factor of -2 from both terms. Factoring out -2 means dividing each term by -2:
-2 * (-4t) = 8t
-2 * 6 = -12
Therefore, the factored form of the expression 6-4t is:
-2(4t - 3)
Note: Factoring is not possible when the expression has no common factors or when it is a prime number. In such cases, the expression is considered to be fully factored.
