Question 167697: 5m + 40mb^3

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
5m + 40mb^3
You provided no instructions but I assume that you need to factor.
Take out the greatest common factor from each term.
Then divide each term by the greatest common factor.
The GCF = 5m
So, we now divide 5m + 40mb^3 by 5m INDIVIDUALLY.
5m divided by 5m = 1
40mb^3 divided by 5m = 8b^3
We now put each answer together and we're done.
Final answer: (1 + 8b^3)
