Help me if you can! will medal!! Determine the factors of 15x2 + 3xy + 10x + 2y. (4 points) (3x + 2)(5x + y) (5x + y)(2x + 3) (3x + y)(5x + 2) (5x + 3)(2x + y)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

15x2 + 3xy + 10x + 2y factor by grouping:- = 3x(5x+ y)+2(5x + y) = ?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the 5x + y is common to the 2 parts so what do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The Answer is (3x+2)(5x+y) I factored all of them and this one is right

OpenStudy (welshfella):

@JuanM - please don't give direct answers Read Code of Conduct

OpenStudy (welshfella):

that is the correct answer but I wanted the questioner to work it out himself.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

No you are not picky. You need to know how to do the problem .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah thanks

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yw

OpenStudy (welshfella):

5x +y is common to both parts so its factors to (5x + y) and whats outside the parentheses 3x + 2

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Choice A is the correct one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
