Math Problem Statement
Factor. Check by multiplying. 14x + 7
Solution
The expression provided is . To factor this expression completely, we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms.
- Identify the GCF: The GCF of 14 and 7 is 7.
- Factor out the GCF: We can factor out 7 from the expression.
So, can be factored as:
To check by multiplying, distribute the 7 back into the expression: This confirms that the factorization is correct.
