Question

solve by factoring:
42a^2b + 24a^2b^2-30ab^2

Answer 1

start by factoring a gcf
6ab(7a+4ab-5b)

Answer 2

6ab(7a+4ab-5b)

Answer 3

how did you guys get that?

Answer 4

we looked at number and decided that 6ab was teh most we could take out of each term.

Answer 5

ohh okay thanks!

Answer 6

Does that make any sense? I can try to re word it

Answer 7

nope i got it thanks! so for the problem 4p^2 -25p^2 what would the answer be?

Answer 8

Everytime you see a polynomial that has more than one integer for each term and they all have varying powers you will almost always be able to factor something out.

Answer 9

just combine like terms
-21p^2 and that should be all unless you need to divide -21 out

Answer 10

thats what i gott! thank youu!!!

Answer 11

Unless you need to solve for p, that is where you stop. Good!!! you are welcome
