Question

completely factor the expression by grouping, if possible.

\\q^2 - qz - 5q + 5z\\

Explanation:

Group the terms of the expression

Using the Factoring by Grouping knowledge point

$$ (q^2 - qz) + (-5q + 5z) $$

Factor out the greatest common factor from the first group

Using the Greatest Common Factor knowledge point

$$ q(q - z) $$

Factor out the greatest common factor from the second group

Using the Greatest Common Factor knowledge point

$$ -5(q - z) $$

Factor out the common binomial factor

Using the Factoring by Grouping knowledge point

$$ (q - 5)(q - z) $$

Answer:

Completely factor the expression by grouping, if possible.

\(q^2 - qz - 5q + 5z =\) <blank>\((q - 5)(q - z)\)</blank>
