4. x + 5xy + 2x + 10y
5. xy + 2y2 - 3x - 6y
= (x + 5y)(x + 2)
5. xy + 2y2 - 3x - 6y

= (3x + 2)(y - 4)
11 4x2 - 4xz + xy - yz

= (4x + y)(x - z)
12 6x + 4y - 9xz - 6yz

Lesson 04 Solutions

x2 + 7x + 12 The third term has factors (1, 12), (2, 6), (3, 4)
and 3 + 4 = 7
Hence x2 + 7x + 12 = (x + 3)(x + 4)
10 x2 + 11x + 24 The third term has factors (1, 24), (2, 12), (3, 8),
(4, 6) and 3 + 8 = 11
Hence x2 + 11x + 24 = (x + 3)(x + 8)
