Question

how do i factor 6u^2-7uv-5v^2 ?

im not sure how to work it because of the two variables

Answer 1

perhaps it would be easier, since both variables annoy you, if you factored
\[6u^2-7u-5\] first

Answer 2

factors as
\[u^2-7u-5=(2u+1)(3u-5)\]

Answer 3

then just stick in the v to get
\[(2u+v)(3u-5v)\]

Answer 4

as long as the first step was ok, then the next one (adding the v) should be ok yes?

Answer 5

thank you ! you made it much easier

Answer 6

oops a typo i meant
\[6u^2-7u-5=(2u+1)(3u-5)\]
i forgot the 6 in front
