Question

Factor out the greatest common monomial factor from polynomial. Show your work or explain your reasoning

Answer 1

7(1 +3x)

Explanation:

The simplest monomial is a constant that is a prime number. That constant is a factor of the coefficient of the only other monomial in the expression, so it can factored from both terms.

= 7 + 7·3x

= 7(1 +3x)
