OpenStudy (linn99123):
PSHHHH I GOT DAT BODY XD x - 15y
OpenStudy (linn99123):
x - 15y there like this?
OpenStudy (bibby):
factoring means you divide each term in the parentheses by the thing you're factoring. for example:
factor 3 from (3x+6y) => 3(x+2y)
factor 5 from (15x+20y) => 5(3x+4y)

omg im so confused bib D:
OpenStudy (bibby):
to factor 5x-15y, we have to find the common denominator.
the LCD is 5.
now we know that our equation looks something like 5(blah blah blah)
OpenStudy (bibby):
so now we need to divide each term by the LCD: \(\huge \frac{5x}{5}\)
OpenStudy (linn99123):
sorry im back
OpenStudy (linn99123):
The lcd would be 5 or 1?

The LCD is 5.
step 1: find the lcd. DONE
step 2: divide each term by 5. \(\huge 5(\frac{5x}{5}-\frac{15y}{5})\)
step 2: divide each term by 5. \(\huge 5(\frac{\cancel{5}x}{\cancel{5}}-\frac{3\cancel{15}y}{\cancel{5}})\)
step 4: cancel \(\huge 5(x-3y)\)
