Combine Like Terms/Factoring Review

What is the first step for factoring an expression?

• Divide by GCF.

• Determine the GCF for both terms.

• Distribute.

• Rewrite as a product.

X² can be combined with X

• True

• False

2xy can be combined with 3xy²

• True

• False

Simplify the expression:

3x² - x + 7 + 5x + 2 - 2x²

• x² + 4x + 9

• 5x² + 9

• 15

• 15x

Factor out the GCF:
12x + 6

• 6(2x + 1)
• 3(4x + 2)
• 6x(2x + 1)
• 2(6x + 3)

Simplify the Expression:

3x²y + 4x - 6y + 4x²y -2y

• 11x²y - 8y

• 3y

• 7x²y - 4y

• 7x²y + 4x - 8y

Simplify the Expression:

3m - 15 + 2m - 4

• 5m - 19

• m + 19

• 5m - 15

• 24m

Simplify the Expression:

7x² - 3a +20 - 4x² + 2a

• 11x² - a + 20

• 3x² - a + 20

• 2a + 20

• 3x² - a

Who is this rapper?

• Snoop Dogg

• Jay Z

• Kanye West

• Drake

Factor out the GCF:
10x³ - 15x

• x(10x² - 15)
• 5x(2x² - 3)
• 5(2x³ - 3x)
• 5x²(10x - 3)
