Factor 2x^2-18x+36

$2 x^{2} - 18 x + 36$

Step 1

Factor $2$ out of $2 x^{2} - 18 x + 36$ .

Factor $2$ out of $2 x^{2}$ .

$2 (x^{2}) - 18 x + 36$

Factor $2$ out of $- 18 x$ .

$2 (x^{2}) + 2 (- 9 x) + 36$

Factor $2$ out of $36$ .

$2 x^{2} + 2 (- 9 x) + 2 \cdot 18$

Factor $2$ out of $2 x^{2} + 2 (- 9 x)$ .

$2 (x^{2} - 9 x) + 2 \cdot 18$

Factor $2$ out of $2 (x^{2} - 9 x) + 2 \cdot 18$ .

$2 (x^{2} - 9 x + 18)$

Step 2

Factor.

Factor $x^{2} - 9 x + 18$ using the AC method.

Consider the form $x^{2} + b x + c$ . Find a pair of integers whose product is $c$ and whose sum is $b$ . In this case, whose product is $18$ and whose sum is $- 9$ .

$- 6, - 3$

Write the factored form using these integers.

$2 ((x - 6) (x - 3))$

Remove unnecessary parentheses.

$2 (x - 6) (x - 3)$
