Question

Factorise: X2 + ab- ax- bx​

Answer 1

Answer:

We need to factorise x2−ax−bx+ab

It can be written as (x2−ax−bx+ab)=x(x−a)−b(x−a)=(x−b)(x−a)

Thus factors are x−a,x−b.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factorise x

2

−ax−bx+ab

It can be written as (x

2

−ax−bx+ab)=x(x−a)−b(x−a)=(x−b)(x−a)

Thus factors are x−a,x−b.
