factor 15xy + 18x

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

check what can you factorizing out from every two terms of equation ok ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so if 15=5*3 and 18=8*3 what will be the common factor ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

sorry 18=6*3

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so from 6*3 and 5*3 what number can you factorizing out ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

what is the common factor ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes right

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

and you see again that x is common factor too right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5y+6

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than how will be factorized this equation ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x(5y+6)

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
