Explanation / Answer

First you have to see what is th same about the differentparts of the expression. For the first one a 12 can be devided intoboth and so can an x so you pull the two out and you get thisanswer: 12x(1 -4y) For the second problem a 2 can be devided equally into boththe 2 and the 8. an r can be taken out, not r2 becausethe first one only has an r. Following the same concept, you canfactor out an s and a t so your final answer is: 2rst(s - 4rt) For the third problem the greatest common denominator for 18,24, and 54 are 6 so that is what you have to pull out. then lookingat the variables you can pull out an x2 and a y gettingyou your final answer: 6x2y(3y - 4y2 +9x)
