In this video series, I will show you how to multiply rational expressions. When multiplying rational expressions, it is very important for you to simplify your expression first by factoring.

Learn how to factor expressions of two variables by grouping. To factor an algebraic expression means to break it up into expressions that can be multiplied together to get the original expression.

When the expression has no constants, the highest common factor (HCF) of the coefficients is found. The expression has no constants. The HCF of the coefficients is the greatest factor that is common ...

In factoring out the greatest common factor as an expression, we would do the same thing as if we had some regular terms there. So, our terms are simply just 5 times x minus 3 and y times x minus 3.

Two of the terms involve \(x\) and two involve \(y\). Now we can combine the \(x\) terms and combine the \(y\) terms to get \(3x + 2y\).
