if you dont mind me asking but wut grade r u in? bc if i to do this i wanna know if im doing it the right way

TotallyNotJay:

I'm in 10th

Pull out the common factor. Being 2b and then you want to distribute evenly. So it would be 2b(5c). Then for the second one you want to do the same thing. Wanna try that one yourself?

jkmiec26:

Let me see what you get before hand so I can agree or disagree and help you through it.

yes thank u

jkmiec26:

Have you come up with an answer?

TotallyNotJay:

nope I am so lost

jkmiec26:

So you want to pull out the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) which is 3c and then distribute as needed. So it would be 3c(7d). Does that make sense?

TotallyNotJay:

I did the other equation differently x.x

jkmiec26:

Which one?

TotallyNotJay:

the first one I didn't send a pic of it

TotallyNotJay:

theres 3 in total

jkmiec26:

How did you do those ones?

TotallyNotJay:

I figured out what number goes into the 2 numbers and I forgot the rest lol

TotallyNotJay:

my teacher helped me with that one but I forgot x.x

jkmiec26:

Ok send me your questions and answers and I'll tell you if they're correct.

TotallyNotJay:

I have the answer for the first one but not the equation

TotallyNotJay:

jkmiec26:

Ohh I see what you're doing.

jkmiec26:

I apologize but i messed up. for 10b+2bc. You want to still take out the gcf. But you want to have it as 2b(5+c). For the second one you want it to be 3c(7+d). I apologize I meant to put in the + signs.

jkmiec26:

Do you understand that better?

TotallyNotJay:

ohhhhhhh yess thank you

jkmiec26:

Ofc, I'm glad I could help.
