Question

$54x2y - 12x2y2$

Answer 1

Answer:

6x²y(9 - 2y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Factor out GCF

6(9x²y - 2x²y²)

Step 2: Factor out x²

6x²(9y - 2y²)

Step 3: Factor out y

6x²y(9 - 2y)

And we have our factored answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

$6x^2y(9 - 2y)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$54x^2y - 12x^2y^2 =$

The GCF of 54 and 12 is 6.

The GCF of x^2 and x^2 is x^2.

The GCF of y and y^2 is y.

We factor out each GCF above.

$= 6x^2y(9 - 2y)$
