The directions say to write each expression in factored form. It's review and I forgot how to do it.

Hello!

2a + 2b

==> 2(a + b)

Verify:

2(a + b)
==>2a + 2b

Hope this helps!

Sincerely,
Mr.Math

Simply pull out the 2:

2a+2b= 2(a+b)

To factor 2a+2b, pull out the Greatest Common Factor of 2,
which leaves you with your answer = 2(a+b).

U can FACTOR out what they each have in common. They both have 2 in common and therefore in factored form, it is: 2(a+b). You can check it by distributing it back in: 2(a+b)=2a+2b using the distributive property.

First, you must find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor), which is 2.
Then you pull it out of the two terms, and put it outside the parenthesis, to get  2(a+b)
