Factor 35s-28t-35u

Write your answer as a product with a whole number greater than 1.

1 answer

To factor the expression \( 35s - 28t - 35u \), we first look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of the coefficients \( 35 \), \( -28 \), and \( -35 \).

The GCF of \( 35 \), \( 28 \), and \( 35 \) is \( 7 \).

Now, we can factor out \( 7 \) from the expression:

\[ 35s - 28t - 35u = 7(5s - 4t - 5u) \]

So, the factored form of the expression is:

\[ 7(5s - 4t - 5u) \]

Here, \( 7 \) is a whole number greater than \( 1 \).
