Factorise 9x + 18y + 6xy + 27
Here, we have a common factor 3 in all the terms.
∴ 9x + 18y + 6xy + 27 = 3[3x + 6y + 2xy +9]
We find that 3x + 6y = 3(x + 2y) and 2xy + 9 = 1(2xy+9)
i.e. a common factor in both the groups does not exist,
Thus, 3x + 6y + 2xy + 9 cannot be factorised.
On regrouping the terms, we have
3x + 6y + 2xy + 9 = 3x + 9 + 2xy + 6y
= 3(x + 3) + 2y(x + 3)
= (x + 3) (3 + 2y)
Now, 3[3x + 6y + 2xy + 9] = 3[(x + 3)(3 + 2y)]
Thus, 9x + 18y + 6xy + 27 = 3(x+3) (2y+3)
Factorise:
22y – 33z
We have 22y = 2 × 11 × y

10x3 y2 = 2 × 5 × x × x × x × y × y
= (x × x × y × y) × 2 × 5 × x
6x2 y2z = 2 × 3 × x × x × y × y × z
= (x × x × y × y) × 2 × 3 × z
∴ the common factor = (x × x × y × y)
= x2 y2

Substituting x = – 3 in gives
Incorrect statement.
∵
= 9 - 15 + 4
= (9 + 4) - 15
= 13 - 15 = -2
Thus, the correct statement is:

Substituting x = – 3 in gives
We have
∴ The correct statement is
at x = -3 is
(-3)2 - 5(-3) + 4 = 9 + 15 + 4 = 28
Substituting x = – 3 in
x2 + 5x + 4 gives (-3)2 + 5(-3) = -9 - 15 = - 24

(2a + 3b) (a - b) = 2a2 + ab + 3b2
Find and correct the errors in the following mathematical statement.
(a + 4) (a + 2) = a2 + 8
(a + 4)(a + 2) = a2 + 8

Factorise: 27x3 - 21x2 + 15x4
We have 27x3 = 3 × 3 × 3 × x × x × x
21x2 = 3 × 7 × x × x
15x4 = 3 × 5 × x × x × x × x
We get common factors as 3, x and x.
i.e. 3 × x × x or 3x2
∴ 27x3 = 3x2 × 3 × x × 3 = 3x2 × 9x
21x2 = 3x2 × 7 = 3x2 × 7
15x4 = 3x2 × 5 × x × x = 3x2 × 5x2 27x3 - 21x2 + 15x4 = (3x2 × 9x) - (3x2 × 7) + (3x2 × 5x2)

Factorise: ax3y + bx2y3 + cx2yz
We have ax3y2 = a × x × x × x × y × y
bx2y3 = b × x × x × y × y × y
cx2y2z = c × x × x y × y × z
Obviously, is a common factor.
∴ We get ax3y2 = x2y2 × a × x
bx2y3 = x2y2 × b × y
cx2y2z = x2y2 × c × z ax3y2 + bx2y3 + cx2y2z = [(x2y2 × a × x) + (x2y2 × b × y) + (x2y2 × c × z)]

Factorise: x – 9 + 9zy – xyz
By regrouping, we have
x - 9 + 9zy - xyz = x - 9 - xyz + 9zy
