1) a) x 6y = 3y

b) -7x x 5 = -35x
c) 8p x -5g -40pg
d) 3p x -4y x p2 = -12p3y
e) 3x x 2y x k = 6 xyk
f) (-4y) x 3y x (-2y) = 24y3
2) Simplify (Expand)
a) -5(x + y) = -5x 5y
b) (6x + 3) = 3x + 1
c) -3(t 4) = -3t + 12
d) -6(x 5) = -6x + 30
e) 8(x + y) 3(x + 2y) = 8x + 8y 3x 6y = 5x + 2y
f) 6(2x + 3y) (6x + 3y) = 12x + 18y 6x 3y = 6x + 15y
g) 5(3m t) 4(2m + 6) = 15m 5t 8m 24 = 7m 5t - 24
3) Factorize
a. 7x 7y

= 7(x - y)

b. 36p3 6p2

= 6p2(6p 1)

c. 4k2 k3

= k2(4 k)

d. 35p 10

= 5(7p 2)

e. 81m 9

= 9(9m 1)

f. 42 - 16

= 4( 4)

4) Factorize by grouping
g. mx + my + px + py = m( x+y) + p(x+y) = ( m + p) ( x + y)
h. mp 4np + mq 4nq = p(m-4n) +q(m-4n) = ( p + q) ( m-4n)
i. 3xr + 3xs yr ys = 3x( r + s) - y(r + s) = (3x - y) ( r + s)

j. 2bx + 3cy + 3cx + 2by = 2b(x+y)3c(x+y) = (2b + 3c) ( x+y)

k. ax 2bx + ay 2by = x(a - 2b)+y(a - 2b) = (x + y)(a - 2b)
