Math- Algebra Polynomials?
Can anyone help in factoring some of thes. much appreciated ( no im not trying to get u to do my homework, i guess need a couple of problems answered)
75b²c³ + 60bc^6
30x³y + 35x²y²
Update:Just noticed how horrific my spelling was in this question. Anyway, thanks ∂µ¢кყ. The best answer will be going to you.

welll, let's see here...
1)
[let's separate the coefficients and the variables - we'll do the coefficients first]
75 + 60
[what's the greatest common factor?]
15
[so, factor that out...]
15(5 + 4)
[now, onto the variables]
b^2c^3 + bc^6
[greatest common factor? well, they both have a 'b' and a 'c^3' so factor those out]
bc^3(b + c^3)
[now combine them with their respective coefficients]
15bc^3(5b + 4c^3)
when you're showing your work, you shouldn't split it up like that, but i did to make it easier...
eh, do the exact same thing for the other one! nothing different there...
Hope this helped, and good luck!!
