Question

select the factored form of this expression.
19 - 17x
after you pick your answer press go.
a. 2x b. 2(17 - x)
c. 17(2 - x) d. 19(1 - 2x)
e. not factorable

Explanation:

Step1: Identify GCF of terms

Find GCF of 19 and 17.
19 is prime, 17 is prime; GCF = 1

Step2: Check factorability

A GCF of 1 means no common factor (other than 1) to factor out, and the expression cannot be rewritten as a product of non-trivial factors.

Answer:

E. Not factorable
