Given the numerical equation:
mr + ns - nr - ms
Factor the expression completely.
Solution:
In order to factor the expression completely. We must first rearrange the expression.
= mr + ns - nr - ms
= mr - ms + ns - nr
Factor out the common term by group.
= m ( r - s ) + n ( s - r )
Final answer:
= m ( r - s ) + n ( s - r )
