How do you factor 24a + 12b - 30?

2a+b=5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

given the expression

24a + 12b - 30

Step one:

To solve this we need to look for a common factor

Here 6 is a common factor

So divide all through by 6

24a/6+12b/6-30/6

4a+2b-5

4a+2b=5

Step two:

We can still factor 2 out for the terms with variables

2 (2a+b) = 5

2a+b=5/2

6 (4a+3b-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

They all share a common factor of 6 so we can factor out the six, 6 (4a+3b-5)
