Question

How would i Factor a polynomial completley when the equation is 5y(y+3)-2(y+3)

Answer 1

5y(y+3) - 2(y+3)

(5y^2 + 15y) - (2y +6)

15y^2 + 13y - 6

Answer 2

and then...

(5y+6) (3y-1)

Answer 3

is that the last step?

Answer 4

I believe so. Is that not what u were looking for?

Answer 5

yes
. thankyou

Answer 6

np : )
good practice!

Answer 7

couldnt you have just gotten (5y-2)(y+3) ...

Answer 8

in fact, math morons answer is incorrect

Answer 9

how so?

Answer 10

apologies, Daniel. Arman is correct, I added a 1 where it was not suppose to be and messed up the subsequent equations. Let me take another look...

Answer 11

5y(y+3) - 2(y+3)

(5y^2 + 15y) - (2y +6)

this, however simplifies to 5y^2 -13y -6

which can be factored to ...

Answer 12

(5y+2)(y-3) I believe

Answer 13

or actually, Arman's answer works too

Answer 14

THANKYOU! ;)

Answer 15

very welcome
