5x - 5y + ax - ay

5(x - y) + a(x -y)

(x-y) (5+a)

im learning this now...it's my best.5x-5y+ax-ay

the answer should be..

5x+ax-5y-ay

5ax^2-5ay^2

five ax to the second power minus five ay to the second power. this is like the second time im taking this class if i did my work and showed up on time instead of an hour late every day i would pass with a c at least. math is my fav subject.

By grouping

=5(x-y)+a(x-y)

=(5+a)(x-y)
