Question

Factor the following expression -6x(- x + 7) -4/5 - 7(-x + 7) 1/5

Answer 1

First of all, we must remember some properties of exponents, between them, let's take a look at the following

$a^{-1}=\frac{1}{a}$

So, we can rewrite the expression as follows

$-\frac{6x}{(\left(-x+7\right)^{\frac{1}{5}})^4}-7(-x+7)^{\frac{1}{5}}$

As we can't apply any other factor case, we only get that simplification of the given expression.
