You can
put this solution on YOUR website! Factor completely: 6x^2-5y-3xy+10x using
SEVERAL methods please. Thanks!
6x² - 5y - 3xy + 10x
1. Rearrange the terms like this
6x² - 3xy + 10x - 5y
Factor 3x out of the first two terms
3x(2x - y) + 10x - 5y
Factor +5 out of the last two terms
3x(2x - y) + 5(2x - y)
Factor (2x - y) out of each term
(2x - y)(3x + 5)
-------------------------------------
2. Rearrange the terms like this
6x² + 10x - 3xy - 5y
Factor 2x out of the first two terms
2x(3x + 5) - 3xy - 5y
Factor -y out of the last two terms
2x(3x + 5) - y(3x + 5)
Factor (3x + 5) out of each term
(3x + 5)(2x - y)
-------------------------
See if you can rearrange them a third way.
