Here are the factorisations:

Part 1.1· 1 step

2x+4y−6z2x + 4y - 6z

  1. Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of all terms.

    The GCF of 2,4,2, 4, and 6 is 2.

    2x+4y−6z=2(x)+2(2y)−2(3z)2x + 4y - 6z = 2(x) + 2(2y) - 2(3z) =2(x+2y−3z)= 2(x + 2y - 3z)

    The factorised expression is 2(x+2y−3z)\boxed{2(x + 2y - 3z)}.

Part 1.2

2p3q2(5p3−2+pq2)2p^3q^2(5p^3 - 2 + p q^2)

10p6q2−4p3q2+2p4q410p^6q^2 - 4p^3q^2 + 2p^4q^4

  1. Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of all terms.

    The GCF of the coefficients 10,4,10, 4, and 2 is 2.
    The GCF of the pp terms (p6,p3,p4p^6, p^3, p^4) is p3p^3.
    The GCF of the qq terms (q2,q2,q4q^2, q^2, q^4) is q2q^2.
    So, the overall GCF is 2p3q22p^3q^2.

    10p6q2−4p3q2+2p4q4=2p3q2(5p3)−2p3q2(2)+2p3q2(pq2)10p^6q^2 - 4p^3q^2 + 2p^4q^4 = 2p^3q^2(5p^3) - 2p^3q^2(2) + 2p^3q^2(p q^2) =2p3q2(5p3−2+pq2)= 2p^3q^2(5p^3 - 2 + p q^2)

    The factorised expression is 2p3q2(5p3−2+pq2)\boxed{2p^3q^2(5p^3 - 2 + p q^2)}.

Part 1.3(m+n)(m+n - 5p)

(m+n)2−5p(m+n)(m+n)^2 - 5p(m+n)

  1. Identify the common binomial factor, which is (m+n)(m+n).

    (m+n)2−5p(m+n)=(m+n)(m+n)−5p(m+n)(m+n)^2 - 5p(m+n) = (m+n)(m+n) - 5p(m+n) =(m+n)[(m+n)−5p]= (m+n)[(m+n) - 5p] =(m+n)(m+n−5p)= (m+n)(m+n - 5p)

    The factorised expression is (m+n)(m+n−5p)\boxed{(m+n)(m+n - 5p)}.

Part 1.4(7c - d)(4 - a)

4(7c−d)+a(d−7c)4(7c - d) + a(d - 7c)

  1. Rewrite the term a(d−7c)a(d - 7c) to have a common factor with 4(7c−d)4(7c - d).

    Note that (d−7c)=−(7c−d)(d - 7c) = -(7c - d).

    4(7c−d)+a(d−7c)=4(7c−d)+a[−(7c−d)]4(7c - d) + a(d - 7c) = 4(7c - d) + a[-(7c - d)] =4(7c−d)−a(7c−d)= 4(7c - d) - a(7c - d)
  2. Factor out the common binomial factor (7c−d)(7c - d).

    =(7c−d)(4−a)= (7c - d)(4 - a)

    The factorised expression is (7c−d)(4−a)\boxed{(7c - d)(4 - a)}.

Part 1.53(a - 2b)(x + 2y)

3ax−6bx+6ay−12by3ax - 6bx + 6ay - 12by

  1. Group the terms and factor out the GCF from each pair.

    (3ax−6bx)+(6ay−12by)(3ax - 6bx) + (6ay - 12by)

    Factor 3x3x from the first pair and 6y6y from the second pair.

    3x(a−2b)+6y(a−2b)3x(a - 2b) + 6y(a - 2b)
  2. Factor out the common binomial factor (a−2b)(a - 2b).

    (a−2b)(3x+6y)(a - 2b)(3x + 6y)
  3. Factor out the GCF from the remaining binomial (3x+6y)(3x + 6y).

    The GCF of 3x3x and 6y6y is 3.

    (a−2b)3(x+2y)(a - 2b)3(x + 2y) =3(a−2b)(x+2y)= 3(a - 2b)(x + 2y)

    The factorised expression is 3(a−2b)(x+2y)\boxed{3(a - 2b)(x + 2y)}.
