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

here you hope this .

step-by-step explanation:

hypotenuse = √(15² + 8²)

=  √(225 +64)

=  √(289) = 17

sin(x) = cos(y) = 8/17

they are identical so long as you are doing the sine of one angle and the cosine of the only other angle that isn't the right angle.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
