Hi, Don't worry i'll try to help you(: do you have answer choices to the problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (thestudyowl):

lol, ok no problem(: i'ts just been awhile since i've done one of these. Let me work it out and i'll explain it to you...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks :D

OpenStudy (thestudyowl):

Ok, so we have \[5x^4y-10x^2y^2\] Now we have to find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) Which in this case is \[5x^2y\] So now just order it and the answer should be \[5x^2y(x^2-2y)\] Hope I helped(:
