How do you solve

Question

15xy - 6x+5y-2

Answer 1

To solve this expression, we can factor by grouping:

15xy - 6x + 5y - 2

First, we can factor out a common factor from each pair of terms:

= 3x(5y - 2) + 1(5y - 2)

Now, we can factor out the common factor of (5y - 2):

= (3x + 1)(5y - 2)

So, the expression 15xy - 6x + 5y - 2 can be simplified to (3x + 1)(5y - 2).
