5(b - 0.18b).....use the distributive property
5b - 0.90b <== ur equivalent expression
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
prime factorization
40y³ = 2³×5y³
625 = 5⁴
Greatest common factor = 5
40y³ - 625 = 5(8y³ - 125)
Note that 8y³ - 125 is the difference of cubes.
8y³ - 125 = (2y)³ - 5³ = (2y-5)((2y)² + 2y·5 + 5²) = (2y-5)(4y² + 10y + 25)
40y³ - 625 = 5(2y-5)(4y² + 10y + 25)
