Answer 1

and?

Answer 2

What do you need to do, factor?

Answer 3

If so, start by factoring -5. Then what kind of polynomial do you get?

Answer 5

@kelleycrudo, since you said your equation didn't equal to anything, do you want us to help you simplify it?

Answer 6

\(-5x^3 + 320\)

Here's the beginning of the first step. It is to factor -5 out. Can you complete this step?

\(= -5(~~~~~~~~~)\)
