Question

how do i solve 5x^2-10x by factoring in algebra 1

Answer 1

Well first, the coeffecients are multiples of 5 so we can factor 5 our

5(x^2-x)

But we can factor x^2-x further

x^2 - x = x*x -x
both of these have a factor of x we can pull out

5*x(x-1)

Answer 2

oops 5*x(x-2)

Answer 3

5(x^2-x) should be 5(x^2-2x) because the coefficient of x is 10
