Factor xy+10x-7y-70

$x y + 10 x - 7 y - 70$

Step 1

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

$(x y + 10 x) - 7 y - 70$

Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group.

$x (y + 10) - 7 (y + 10)$

Step 2

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, $y + 10$ .

$(y + 10) (x - 7)$
