Question

Factor out the coefficient of the variable term.$2.2x+4.4$

Answer 1

We have given expression is

$2.2x+4.4$

This expression has two terms:

$$\begin{gathered} 2.2x=1.1\times 2\times x \\ 4.4=1.1\times 2\times 2 \end{gathered}$$

Using the distributive property to factor out the common term

$(2,2)$

$$\begin{gathered} 2.2x+4.4=2.2\left(x\right)+2.2\left(2\right)\{Rewritetheexpression\} \\ =2.2(x+2)\{Distributiveproperty\} \end{gathered}$$

Hence the factor is $2.2(x+2)$
