<PRE><B>Question 112046</B>
I&#39;m not really sure what the ABC method is, but I can help you to factor the problem.  :)


We have 10x^5 + 80x^4 + 160x^3


All of these terms have 10x^3 in common, so we can factor that out.


10x^3(x^2 + 8x + 16)


We can factor even further:


10x^3(x + 4)(x + 4)
OR
10x^3(x + 4)^2</PRE>
