Halp how to factor 4x-2

2(2−1)

Step-by-step explanation:

4−2

Grouping

Common factor

4−2

2(2−1)

Solution

2(2−1)

To factor, you do the opposite of what you would in distributive property. You have to find the greatest common factor, or GCF, of 4 and -2.

  4                   2

1  |  4              1 | 2

2 |  2

So the GCF is 2. Now we factor the expression.

4x-2

2(2x-1)
