Use the Distributive Property

A. Use the Distributive Property to factor 15x + 25x2. First, find the GCF of 15x + 25x2. 15x = 3 5 x 25x2 = 5 5 x x GCF = 5 x or 5x Factor each monomial. Circle the common prime factors.

Write each term as the product of the GCF and its remaining factors. hen use the !istri"uti#e $ropert% to factor out the GCF.

Answer:

he completel% factored form of 15x + 25x2 is 5x&3 + 5x'.

B. Use the Distributive Property to factor 12xy + 24xy2 !x2y4. Factor each 12 xy = term. 2 23x y 2(xy2 = 2223 Circle xyy common factors. )3* x2y( = )1 2 35x xyyy y

GCF = 2 3 x y or +xy
