Question

How to solve 5y(2y-3)+(2y-3)

Answer 1

What's common to both terms?

an example: 2y(5+1)= 5*2y+2y

Answer 2

What do you mean.?
the 2y-3 is

Answer 3

yep, so take it out as a common factor, and that should give you something like 2y(3y+3). (these are different numbers). I'm guessing the equation is equal to zero so for a multiplication to be 0 either of the terms multiplying must be 0. first in this case would be y=0 and y=-1

Answer 4

If I took it out as a common factor wouldn't it just cancel out.?

or were you basically saying 2y(3y+3) and 3(2y+2)?

Answer 5

Sorry I was using a different equation. Try factoring out the common thing in your equation and then try to get the multiplication to be zero, like in my example

Answer 6

Okay I'm lost

Answer 7

5y(2y-3)+(2y-3)=0

take the common factor and write it out

Answer 8

2y(5+1)= 5*2y+2y

Answer 9

same idea as here
