Question 776089
Given the polynomial
(1) {{{5*(m-3) - 7*(m-3)^2 + 5*(m-3)^3}}}
It has three terms, each has two factors: a constant and the binomial, (m-3). What factor do you think is the same in ALL three terms? Right, it is (m-3). Therefore the ONLY common factor is (m-3). Factoring out this common factor yields
(2) {{{(m-3)*(5 - 7*(m-3) + 5*(m-3)^2)}}}
That's it look no farther!
