Question

How do you factor 5h2−7h+2?

Answer 1

Answer :

$(5h - 2) \times (h - 1)$

Step by step explanation :

$5h {}^{2} - 7h + 2$

Write - 7h as a difference.

$= > 5h {}^{2} - 2h - 5h + 2$

Factor out h from the expression.

$= > h \times (5h - 2) - 5h + 2$

Extract the negative sign from the expression.

$= > h \times (5h - 2) - (5h - 2)$

Factor out 5h - 2 from the expression.

$= > (5h - 2) \times (h - 1)$
