To factor the given expression.
00:02
So the first thing we always want to do when we factor is to factor out the greatest common factor.
00:08
Now, in this particular case, what you want to notice is that both of these terms, remember, this whole first one is considered a term, and this whole second part is considered just one term.
00:18
So do they have anything in common? well, they do.
00:21
They both contain this factor 3 minus 4x.
00:25
So we can factor that out.
00:27
So we're going to have 3 minus 4x.
00:29
Now, what we need to do is divide each term by this 3 minus 4x.
00:34
So think about this first term.
00:36
I'm taking 1 out of the 2 3 minus 4x is out.
00:40
So that means we're left with 5 times 3 minus 4x.
00:44
Now, for the second term, if i get rid of this 3 minus 4x term, that simply leaves us with negative 8 times 5x minus 1...
