Question

factor the polynomial.
$25xy + 30x + 30y + 36$
$25xy + 30x + 30y + 36 = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Group terms by common factors

$(25xy + 30x) + (30y + 36)$

Step2: Factor out GCF from each group

$5x(5y + 6) + 6(5y + 6)$

Step3: Factor out shared binomial

$(5x + 6)(5y + 6)$

Answer:

$(5x + 6)(5y + 6)$
