Factor y^2+7y-5y-35

$y^{2} + 7 y - 5 y - 35$

Step 1

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

$(y^{2} + 7 y) - 5 y - 35$

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

$y (y + 7) - 5 (y + 7)$

Step 2

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, $y + 7$ .

$(y + 7) (y - 5)$
