What is factoring ? like i need it to be explained how to do it bc i been struggling since the beginning of summer ( i am in 9th grade btw..going)

what is factoring ? factoring is the process of finding the factors:

factoring: finding what to multiply together to get an expression.

it is like "splitting" an expression into a multiplication of simpler expressions.

example: factor 2y+6

both 2y and 6 have a common factor of 2:

2y is 2 × y

6 is 2 × 3

so we can factor the whole expression into:

2y+6 = 2(y+3)

so 2y+6 has been "factored into" 2 and y+3

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
