(picture) factoring polynomials: gcf !

-50xy  and -40x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

LEts find GCF for the given expression

36x^3 ---> 2*3*2*3*x*x*x

-22x^2 -----> -1* 2 * 11 * x*x

-144x --------> -1* 2*2*3*2*2*3*x

GCf is 2 * x = 2x

2x is not GCf of -11

-50xy ----> -1 * 2*5*5*x*y

2x is GCF of -50xy

-40x^2 ---> -1*2*2*2*5*x*x

2x is GCF of -40x^2

2x is not GCF of 24 because there is no x term

2x is not GCF of 10y because there is no x  term

5/12, or 5: 12
