Break down the expression into basic terms:
To break down the expression , identify the common factors.
The first term is , which can be rewritten as .
The second term is , which can be rewritten as .
Notice that both terms share a common factor of .
This allows the expression to be broken down to , which translates to using common terms.
Break down the expression into basic terms:
\( 4x^2 + 6x \)
It means showing each part of the expression as separate multiplication factors. Instead of , write it as to see all the individual pieces.
Because , which is not equal to ! The exponent means , not .
The question asks for basic terms, so you could write 10 as or , but it's usually fine to leave simple constants as they are unless specifically asked.
The same principle applies! Break down each term separately: becomes .
Multiply your broken-down version back together. If gives you , then you did it right!
