(i) x2 + xy + 8x + 8y

(ii) 15xy − 6x + 5y − 2

Solution

(i) x2 + xy + 8x + 8y = x × x + x × y + 8 × x + 8 × y

= x (x + y) + 8 (x + y)

= (x + y) (x + 8)

(ii) 15xy − 6x + 5y − 2 = 3 × 5 × x × y − 3 × 2 × x + 5 × y − 2

= 3x (5y − 2) + 1 (5y − 2)

= (5y − 2) (3x + 1)
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

(iii) ax + bxayby = a × x + b × xa × yb × y

= x (a + b) − y (a + b)

= (a + b) (xy)

(iv) 15pq + 15 + 9q + 25p = 15pq + 9q + 25p + 15

= 3 × 5 × p × q + 3 × 3 × q + 5 × 5 × p + 3 × 5

= 3q (5p + 3) + 5 (5p + 3)

= (5p + 3) (3q + 5)

(v) z − 7 + 7xyxyz = zx × y × z − 7 + 7 × x × y

= z (1 − xy) − 7 (1 − xy)

= (1 − xy) (z − 7)
