Factor out the GCF 2b^2y-6by? Is this the Answer 2b(by-3y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both terms also have a \(y\) in them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SO its 2by(by-3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

step by step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

common factor is \(2by\) so you do pull it out like you did the second time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2b^2y-6by=2by(something)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need two terms for the something, and your answer was very close

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what would you multiply \(2by\) by to get \(2b^2y\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right so answer is \[2by(b-3)\] which is almost what you wrote

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but you had \(2by(by-3)\) which is wrong, because it has a \(y\) in the first term of the parentheses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

great!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need help on \[2x ^{7}y ^{5}+10x^5y^4+18xy\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is my answer 2x^2y(x^2y^4+5x^3y^3+9x)
