Question

Factorise ax + ay – bx - by​

Answer 1

Answer:

The factorization of $ax+ay-bx-by$ is   $(x+y)(a-b)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$ax+ay-bx-by$

We need to factorize the expression.

The variable $a$ is a common factor in the first two terms and $-b$ is a common factor in the last two terms. Thus we have

$ax+ay-bx-by =a(x+y)-b(x+y) = (x+y)(a-b)$

In the second step $x+y$ is a common factor in the two terms.

So the factorized form is $(x+y)(a-b)$

Answer 2

Answer:

ax+ay-bx-by

we will now take the common one from each pair.

a(x+y)-b(x-y)

now we will take common (x+y) and (x-y).

(x+y) (a-b) (ANSWER)
