Question

Use the distributive property to factor the expression below.

5a^2b^2 - 30ab

Answer 1

The common factors are 5, a, b... Multiply them and you get 5ab. Put that outside the bracket.

5ab(? - ?)

Answer 2

5 a b (-6+a b)

Yep... but a better order is:
\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow 5ab(ab - 6) }\)

Answer 4
