(1) b. (4a + 9)(3b + 5)

Step 1
The factors of the polynomial, 12ab + 27b + 20a + 45 can be found as,
12ab + 27b + 20a + 45 = 3b(4a + 9) + 5(4a + 9)
= (4a + 9)(3b + 5)

Step 2
Thus, the factors of the polynomial, 12ab + 27b + 20a + 45 are (4a + 9)(3b + 5).

(2) d. (y − 3x) and (y − 7)

Step 1
Let's re-order some of the terms as follows:

y2 − 3xy − 7y + 21x
= y2 − 7y − 3xy + 21x

Step 2
Now we can see that y is common in the first two terms, and −3x is common in the last two terms. Let's
rewrite the expression as follows:

y(y − 7) − 3x(y − 7)
= (y − 7)(y − 3x)

Step 3
Thus, the factors of the polynomial y2 − 3xy − 7y + 21x are (y − 3x) and (y − 7).

(3) b. (2s − t)(t − 5r)

Step 1
To factorize 2st − t2 − 10sr + 5tr we will group the terms in such a manner that we have a common
factor.

Step 2
Thus

2st − t2 − 10sr + 5tr = (2st − 10sr) − (t2 − 5tr)


= 2s(t − 5r) − t(t − 5r)
= (2s − t)(t − 5r)

Step 3
Hence, 2st − t2 − 10sr + 5tr = (2s − t)(t − 5r).

(4) d. (b − 4a) and (b + 3)

Step 1
Let's re-order some of the terms as follows:

b2 − 4ab + 3b − 12a
= b2 + 3b − 4ab − 12a

Step 2
Now we can see that b is common in the first two terms, and −4a is common in the last two terms. Let's
rewrite the expression as follows:

b(b + 3) − 4a(b + 3)
= (b + 3)(b − 4a)

Step 3
Thus, the factors of the polynomial b2 − 4ab + 3b − 12a are (b − 4a) and (b + 3).

(5) (a + b)(a + 1)

Step 1
To factorize a2 + b + ab + a we will group the terms in such a manner that we have a common factor.

Step 2
Thus

a2 + b + ab + a = (a2 + a) + (ab + b)
= a(a + 1) + b(a + 1)
= (a + b)(a + 1)

Step 3
Hence, a2 + b + ab + a = (a + b)(a + 1).

(6) (a + c)(b − k)

Step 1
To factorize ab + bc − ak − ck we will group the terms in such a manner that we have a common
factor.

Step 2
Thus

ab + bc − ak − ck = b(a + c) − k(a + c)
= (a + c)(b − k)

Step 3
Hence, ab + bc − ak − ck = (a + c)(b − k).

(7) (a − 6)(a + 1)

Step 1
To factorize a2 − 6a + a − 6 we will group the terms in such a manner that we have a common factor.

Step 2
Thus

a2 − 6a + a − 6 = a(a − 6) + 1(a − 6)
= (a − 6)(a + 1)

Step 3
Hence, a2 − 6a + a − 6 = (a − 6)(a + 1).

(8) (a − b)(a − 1)

Step 1
To factorize a2 + b − ab − a we will group the terms in such a manner that we have a common factor.

Step 2
Thus

a2 + b − ab − a = (a2 − a) − (ab − b)
= a(a − 1) − b(a − 1)
= (a − b)(a − 1)

Step 3
Hence, a2 + b − ab − a = (a − b)(a − 1).

(9) (a + b)(a − 1)

Step 1
To factorize a2 − b + ab − a we will group the terms in such a manner that we have a common factor.

Step 2
Thus

a2 − b + ab − a = (a2 − a) + (ab − b)
= a(a − 1) + b(a − 1)
= (a + b)(a − 1)

Step 3
Hence, a2 − b + ab − a = (a + b)(a − 1).

(10) (x − 8)(x + 1)

Step 1
To factorize x2 − 8x + x − 8 we will group the terms in such a manner that we have a common factor.

Step 2
Thus

x2 − 8x + x − 8 = x(x − 8) + 1(x − 8)
= (x − 8)(x + 1)

Step 3
Hence, x2 − 8x + x − 8 = (x − 8)(x + 1).
