Question

Factor: 5x(x-5)+3(x-5)^2

Answer 1

(5x+3)(x-5)^2

Answer 2

because 5x and 3 are both multiplied by x-5 you can combine it to 5x+3

Answer 3

How sure are you that is correct?

Answer 4

very sure?

Answer 5

@ShirohxD 's answer is incorrect.
(x-5) is the common factor. You should get (x-5)(5x+3(x-5)). After that, expand 3(x-5) and the final answer is (x-5)(8x-15). You can verify answers at Wolfram|Alpha.

Answer 6

but you distributed

Answer 7

@ShirohxD please don't respond to anymore of my problems.. you are giving WRONG answers.

Answer 8

this is a place to help one another, not a place to just get free answers lol

Answer 9

@ShirohxD If the original equation was \(5x(x-5)^2+3(x-5)^2\), then it would've been correct, however in the equation \(5x(x-5)+3(x-5)^2\), one of the (x-2) has a degree of 2 while the other only has a degree of 1.
