Factor 70y–50.

Write your answer as a product with a whole number greater than 1.

1 answer

To factor the expression \(70y - 50\), we first look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of the two terms.

  1. The coefficients 70 and 50 share a GCF of 10.
  2. We can factor out 10 from the expression:

\[ 70y - 50 = 10(7y - 5) \]

Thus, the expression factored as a product with a whole number greater than 1 is:

\[ 10(7y - 5) \]
