Factorising Expanding Factorising – common factors Factorising is basically the reverse of expanding brackets. Instead of removing brackets you are putting them in and placing all the common factors in front. 5x2 + 10xy = 5x(x + 2y) Factorise the following (and check by expanding): 3(5 – x) 2(a + 5) a(b – 5) a(a + 6) 4x(2x – 1) • 15 – 3x = • 2a + 10 = • ab – 5a = • a2 + 6a = • 8x2 – 4x = • 10pq + 2p = • 20xy – 16x = • 24ab + 16a2 = • r2+ 2 r = • 3a2 – 9a3 = 2p(5q + 1) 4x(5y - 4) 8a(3b + 2a) r(r + 2) 3a2(1 – 3a)
