How do you factorize this expression?

\[ 4x - 14xy \]

Asked by Anonymous

Answer (3)

Find the highest common factor, which is 2X, therefore, this goes outside of the bracket. So inside goes 4x/2x= 2 & 14xy/2x= 7y 2x(2-7y) When you multiply out of the brackets, everything should be equal

Take a factor of x out of the equation: 2x(2-7y)

To factor the expression 4 x − 14 x y , first find the greatest common factor, which is 2 x . Then, dividing the terms by the GCF gives us 2 x ( 2 − 7 y ) as the final factorized form.
