Question

Factorize $ax+ay-bx-by$

Answer 1

Factorize the expression $ax+ay-bx-by$

$ax+ay-bx-by$

Take $a$ and $b$ common from the equation

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow a\left(x+y\right)-b(x+y) \\ =\left(a-b\right)\left(x+y\right) \end{gathered}$$

Hence the answer is $\left(a-b\right)\left(x+y\right)$
