Question

$12x ^ {2} - 17xy + 6y ^{2}$
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

12x² – 17xy + 6y²

The coefficient of x² is 12

The coefficient of x is -17y

Constant term is 6y²

So, we express the middle term -17xy as -9xy – 8xy

12x² -17xy+ 6y² = 12x2 – 9xy – 8xy + 6y²

= 3x (4x – 3y) – 2y (4x – 3y)

= (3x – 2y) (4x – 3y)

This is x not multiple symbol
