Step 1: Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
1. What is the largest number that divides evenly into \(90x\) and \(35\)? 5
2. What is the highest degree of \(x\) that divides evenly into \(90x\) and \(35\)? None, \(x\) is not in every term
3. Multiplying the results above, the GCF is \(5\)
(The GCF is 5)
Step 2: Factor out the GCF
1. Put the GCF as the first term
2.Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF
\(5( \frac{90x}{5} + \frac{35}{5})\)
Step 3: Simplify each term in parentheses
\(5(18x+7)\)
Done! :)
