Question 260122: The instructions say to Factor and Simplify and we haven't gone over anything this complicated in class.. I'm totally LOST!
(6x-5)^3 (8) (2x+1)^7 (2) + (2x+1)^8 (3) (6x-5)^2 (6)
I would REALLY appreciate somebody's help on this one.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(6x-5)^3 (8) (2x+1)^7 (2) + (2x+1)^8 (3) (6x-5)^2 (6)
----------------------------------------------------------
Common Factor: (6x-5)^2 * (2x+1)^7 * (2)
---
= [(2)(6x-5)^2 * (2x+1)^7]
---
= [[(2)(6x-5)^2 * (2x+1)^7][54x - 37]
