Question

Factor: 120u² + 125u + 30.

Answer 1

5(3u+2)(8u+3)

Explanation:

lmk if you want an explanation

Answer 2

5(3u+2)(8u+3)

Explanation:

Well you first want to factor out any GCF which in this case is 5

5(24u² + 25u + 6)

so now a, b, c = 24, 25, 6.

ac = 144

factors of 144 that add up to 25 are 9 and 16

rewrite equation

(24u² + 9u) + (16u + 6)

factor out GCF

3u(8u+3) + 2(8u + 3)

(3u+2)(8u+3)

plug that back into entire equation

5(3u+2)(8u+3)
