What is factoring ? like i need it to be explained how to do it bc i been struggling since the beginning of summer ( i am in 9th grade btw..going)

what is factoring ? factoring is the process of finding the factors:

factoring: finding what to multiply together to get an expression.

it is like "splitting" an expression into a multiplication of simpler expressions.

example: factor 2y+6

both 2y and 6 have a common factor of 2:

2y is 2 × y

6 is 2 × 3

so we can factor the whole expression into:

2y+6 = 2(y+3)

so 2y+6 has been "factored into" 2 and y+3

3, 12, 48, 384, 1536, 6144, 24576, 98304

step-by-step explanation:

just keep timing it by 4.

graph b

step-by-step explanation:

one solution- graph a (clear intercepting point.)

no solution- graph b (they're parallel, there will never be a point of interception.)

infinite solutions- graph c (all points intercept.)
