Question 64452This question is from textbook beginning algebra
: THIS IS FACTOR BY GROUPING IS THIS SIMILAR TO FACTOR OUT THE GREATEST FACTOR
73. X2POWER+5Y-XY-5X
75. AR+BR-A-B
HOW TO GROUP THESE ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS WHEN I TFRIED MY ANS WAS WRONG ACCORDING TO THE BOOK IS THIS ANY DIFFERENT THAN FACTORING OUT? This question is from textbook beginning algebra

FACTOR
73. X^2+5Y-XY-5X
Rewrite as:
=x^2-5x-xy+5y
=x(x-5)-y(x-5)
=(x-5)(x-y)
--------------

75. AR+BR-A-B
=R(A+B)-(A+B)
=(A+B)(R-1)
---------------
