xy-7yz%2B10x-70z Start with the given expression


%28xy-7yz%29%2B%2810x-70z%29 Group like terms


y%28x-7z%29%2B10%28x-7z%29 Factor out the GCF y out of the first group. Factor out the GCF 10 out of the second group


%28y%2B10%29%28x-7z%29 Since we have the common term x-7z, we can combine like terms


So xy-7yz%2B10x-70z factors to %28y%2B10%29%28x-7z%29
