Solution - Factoring multivariable polynomials

5y(y38y23x)
-5y*(y^3-8y^2-3x)

Step by Step Solution

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  ((40 • (y3)) -  5y4) +  15yx

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  ((23•5y3) -  5y4) +  15yx

Step  3  :

Step  4  :

Pulling out like terms :

 4.1     Pull out like factors :

   -5y4 + 40y3 + 15yx  =   -5y • (y3 - 8y2 - 3x)
