Answer:
(x - 5)(y + 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Let's see. Over here we have two sides of an equation with blank space on the right-hand side. It seems that the topic of the question is factoring.
On the left-hand side, we see that 1 factor is common between two other factors (x and -5). To simplify, we can simply add the two values.
x(y + 6) - 5(y - 6) would be the same as (x-5)(y-6) => your answer
We can check if our equation is true.
x( y + 6) - 5(y + 6) = (x-5)(y + 6)
xy + 6x - 5y -30 = xy - 5y + 6x - 30
xy + 6x - 5y - 30 = xy + 6 - 5y - 30
Both equations are the same
