A) Simplifying
2x2 + -6xy + 12xy^2
Reorder the terms:
-6xy + 12xy^2 + 2x2
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2x'.
2x(-3y + 6y^2 + x)
Final result:
2x(-3y + 6y^2 + x)
b) Simplifying
3x(a + -2b) + (a + -2b)
(a * 3x + -2b * 3x) + (a + -2b)
(3ax + -6bx) + (a + -2b)
Remove parenthesis around (a + -2b)
3ax + -6bx + a + -2b
Reorder the terms:
a + 3ax + -2b + -6bx
Final result:
a + 3ax + -2b + -6bx
c) Simplifying
36ab^2 + -18ab
Reorder the terms:
-18ab + 36ab^2
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '18ab'.
18ab(-1 + 2b)
Final result:
18ab(-1 + 2b)
