Factor out the greatest common factor. Simplify the factors, if possible.
-$$\mathrm { t } ( 3 - \mathrm { m } ) + \mathrm { s } ( 3 - \mathrm { m } )$$
A) $t ( 3 - m ) + s$
B) $( t + s ) ( 3 + m )$
C) $( t - s ) ( 3 - m )$
D) $( t + s ) ( 3 - m )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The greatest common factor in both terms is $(3 - m)$. Factoring this out, we get $(3 - m)(t + s)$, which matches choice D.

Factor Out the Greatest Common Factor t(3−m)+s(3−m)\mathrm { t } ( 3 - \mathrm { m } ) + \mathrm { s } ( 3 - \mathrm { m } )t(3−m)+s(3−m)

Factor Out the Greatest Common Factor $\mathrm { t } ( 3 - \mathrm { m } ) + \mathrm { s } ( 3 - \mathrm { m } )$
