Question

Factorise the following expression: $5x^{2}y-15x{y}^2$

Answer 1

Factorise the given expression by splitting the like terms

Given, $5x^{2}y-15x{y}^2$

Here, the like term is $5xy$

Upon splitting $5xy$ from $5x^{2}y-15x{y}^2$, we get $5xy(x-3y)$

Therefore, the factorisation of $5x^{2}y-15x{y}^2$ is $5xy(x-3y)$.
