Question

someone please factor this completely 6(x+5)^2-5(x+5)+1

Answer 1

[(3(x+5)-1][2(x+5)-1]

Answer 2

Can you show me step by step how you did it please?

Answer 3

Could you factor this:
6a^2-5a+1

Answer 4

ya i got (1 + -3a)(1 + -2a) is that right?

Answer 5

Yes or more typically
(3a-1)(2a-1)

Answer 6

oh ok. so how did you get that expression i asked?

Answer 7

would you mind checking my other factoring questions i answered because I am not sure if its right?

Answer 8

Now, notice your problem is exactly the same as the one you just factored. Just replace each a with (x+5)

Answer 9

replace it where?

Answer 10

6 a^2 -5 a +1 = (3 a - 1)(2 a - 1)
6(x+5)^2-5(x+5) +1 = (3(x+5)-1)(2(x+5) -1 )

Answer 11

Do you see how the two problems are exactly the same?

Answer 12

oh yes i do
