Question

What is this
x^2-5x+xy-5y

Answer 1

(x−5)(x+y)

simplified: xy+x2−5y−5x

Explanation:

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

(x2−5x)+xy−5y

Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group.

x(x−5)+y(x−5)

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, x−5

.

(x−5)(x+y)

Answer 2
