Answer 1

can you take of a GCF?

Answer 2

yes, I've got about half of it worked out

Answer 3

I took out 4xy

Answer 4

so it's 4xy(6x^2+11xy-10y^2)

Answer 5

I have to find what adds to get 11xy out of the factors of 60x^2y^2

Answer 6

stumped

Answer 7

24x^3y - 44x^2y^2 - 40xy^3 = 4xy(6x^2-11xy-10y^2) =

Answer 8

yes Raheen and now i need to find what adds to get 11xy so I can group it to factor, I thought maybe 5 and 6 but isn't working

Answer 9

no?
