factor out completely: see below:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2z ^{5}+2x-yz ^{5}-xy\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first, factor out the x to possible terms, and factor out the z^5 to possible terms.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x(2-y)+z^5(2-y)= (2-y)(x+z^5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(2z-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am lost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please explain (2-y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lets rearrange it. first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets make it to 2x-xy+2z^5-yz^5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

check I understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then from the first and second term, you see that both two terms have x, and from third and fourth term, you see that both terms have z^5. so you factor them out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok 2-y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you will have x(2-y)+z^5(2-y). you can now factor out (2-y) together because both terms have it, and group the remainders. this gives (2-y)(x+z^5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh oh ok got it
