What is the final factored form of the expression 2x − 10 + xy − 5y?

(x - 5)(2 + y)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x − 10 + xy − 5y

= 2(x - 5) + y(x - 5)

=(x - 5)(2 + y)

Hey there! For this question, we'll be using a factoring method called grouping. This means that we will take two terms, factor those, then use the two terms that are left and factor those.

(2x - 10) = one group

(xy - 5y) = second group

You can take a 2 out of the first group and a y out of the second group:

2(x - 5) + y(x - 5)

And that's it!

Hope this helps!! )

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)

have a good day!
