Question

LCM of

 

x^2+5x+x^2= 

Answer 1

LCM is created for at list two "items" (numbers, expressions) 

LCM for one number or expression is number or expression itself !!!

LCM of given expression is 2x² + 5x
         for second one is 2x² + 7x

============
To find LCM of (2x² + 5x) and (2x² + 7x) you have to factorize them first

x(2x + 5)
x(2x + 7)

Any factor which appears twice we will use once and will write down the rest factors.

Thus, LCM is x(2x +5)(2x + 7)

Answer 2

Hi again Bridget;

The lowest common multiplier of...

x²+5x+x²

which is also...

2x²+5x

is

x...

x(2x+5)
