Question

select the correct answer. factor the following expression completely. 6x^2 - 3x - 8x + 4 (x - 4)(2x - 3) (2x - 1)(3x - 4) (4x - 1)(3x - 2) (2x - 4)(3x - 1)

Explanation:

Step1: Group the terms

$(6x^{2}-3x)+(-8x + 4)$

Step2: Factor out the greatest - common factor from each group

$3x(2x - 1)-4(2x - 1)$

Step3: Factor out the common binomial factor

$(2x - 1)(3x - 4)$

Answer:

B. $(2x - 1)(3x - 4)$
