Mr. Ketchersid, Didnt realize I left out a few steps. Ill try to be more thorough in the future. I hope this attempt is closer to what were looking for. Factor the following trinomial: 10a2-33ab20b2 To factor a trinomial with a leading coefficient not equal to one, take the following steps.

1. If necessary, rearrange the trinomial so that the terms with the highest degree, second highest degree, and third highest degree are in descending order.
2. Factor out the largest common factor that is not equal to one or negative one.
3. Employ the . method in reverse which will derive the needed binomial factors.
4. The possible factors for the trinomials first term are (a)(10a) and (2a)(5a).
5. Through trial and error, derive the two factors that when multiplied together...
