What are two equivalent forms for 15xyz+10xy+5x

7nadin3 [17]

We can express this number in the standard form, which is simply 15xyz+10xy+5x. Alternatively, we can factor a 5 or an x out, receiving 5(3xyz+2xy+x) or x(15yz+10y+5). However, the most effective factorization is to factor out 5x, for a result of 5x(3yz+2y+1).
