5m^2 + 15m +10
we are factoring, ex: x^2-16= (x+4)(x-4)
if you understand can you answer and please explain how you did it
thankx

First, factor out a five. (Divide each term by 5).
5m^2+15m+10 = 5(m^2+3m+2)
Then, factor the trinomial into two binomials.
5(m^2+3m+2) = 5(m+2)(m+1)
The completely factored answer is 5(m+2)(m+1).

5m^2 + 15m + 10
ok so you know that since its all addition your going to have a equation similar to (m + n)(m + o) NOTE: n and o stand for any number, either can be the same or they can be different
there are no factorials of 5 other then 1 and 5 so you know
(5m + n)(m + o)
no you know that n*n2 = 10 and that n*m +n*5m = 15
so factorial of 10 is 2 and 5
(5m + 5)(m + 2) if you check it, 5m^2 +5m +10m + 10
simplified is 5m^2 +15m + 10
if your still confused feel free to message me with a question regarding the step or process.

You have to factor out a 5:
5(m^2 + 3m +2)
