First, you will want to get the denominators of both fractions to be the same, the easiest way to do this is by multiplying the denominators, so 5 x 7 = 35
next you need to do the same for the numerators, so 2 x 7 = 14 and 2 x 5 = 10
now you have the equation 14/35 + 10/35
next, you add the numerators. so, 14 + 10 = 24
therefor, 2/5 + 2/7 =24/35
so your answer is 24/35
The factors are
(x-y)(x-y)
or
(x-y)^2
Explanation:
We need to factor the trinomial
x^2-2xy+y^2
The factors of x^2 = (x)(x)
The factors of y^2 = (y)(y)
Since the second sign is positive we are adding the factors meaning the signs of the factors need to be the same. Since the first sign is negative both signs must be negative.
The factors are
(x-y)(x-y)
or
(x-y)^2
Check by FOIL
Firsts (x)(x) = x^2
Outers (x)(-y) = -xy
Inners (-y)(x) = -xy
Lasts (-y)(-y) = y^2
combine the middle terms
(-xy)+(-xy) = -2xy
