(5x-y)(3x+1)-2(5x-y) factorize

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

What's the common factor? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am not sure but the commom factors could be the (5x-y)

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

bingo :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

great.. so whats next?

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

So you take out the factor :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

For example, (2p+3q)(4a-5)-6(2p+3q) would be (2p+3q)[(4a-5)-6]

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

So what have you got now? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I hope i am correct (5x-y)(3X+1-2)

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

yep you are correct :D now you just have to simplify the second bracket :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you are left with(5x-y)(3x-2)

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

well almost but no :/

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

try again :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(5x-y)(3x-!)

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Good job well done :D BINGO :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):
