OpenStudy (anonymous):

see what can you pull out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm i got xy(5x^2+24xy-5y^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok next step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got stuck after that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

factor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+_y)(_x-_y) here a hint

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i factor the inside?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes the outside part already complete just worry bout the inside when it comes to factoring

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the inside is very confusing 5x^2+24xy-5y^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here the final answer you have to know how to factor to get the answer xy(x+5y)(5x-1y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh I see

thanks a lot :)
