5 stepsHere are the factorisations.
Part a· 2 steps
Factorise .
Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms $28xy$ and $12x$.
The GCF of the coefficients 28 and 12 is 4.
The GCF of the variables and is .
So, the GCF of and is .Factor out the GCF from each term.
The answer is .
Part b(y - 3)(1 + 2x)
Factorise .
Group the terms to look for common factors.
Rearrange the terms to group those with common factors:
Group the first two terms and the last two terms:
Factor out the common factor from each group.
For the first group , the common factor is 1.
For the second group , the common factor is .
So the expression becomes:
Factor out the common binomial factor .
The answer is .
