Factor Completely - 30(y+1)x^2+10(y+1)x-20(y+1). We have never had a problem like this in class yet but our instructor assigned this for homework. I don't have a clue how to write this up. I understand the GCF is 10(y+1) but that is as far as I have gone. I think my problem is mostly formatting. Any help would be appreciated.

What do you get when you factor out the GCF ?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

are you able to factor out the GCF at all?

anonymous · Answer

For each term, you can ask yourself what time the GCF equals that term.  For example for the first term  $$10(y+1)*?? = -30(y+1)$$

Hope this is helpful.
