Factor this out by grouping terms
1.x² - xy + 2x - 2y​


Sagot :

Answer:

(x-y)(x+2)

Explanation:

Step 1: Copy the expression.

x^2-xy+2x-2y

Step 2: Group the expression by its common variable.

(x^2+2x)-(xy+2y)

Step 3: Factor out the common variable.

x(x+2)-y(x+2)

Step 4: Simplify

(x-y)(x+2)

Step 5: Check using FOIL Method (or any method you want).

(x-y)(x+2)

F - x^2

O - 2x

I - -xy

L - -2y

Step 6: Arrange the expression.

x^2-xy+2x-2y (the same from the initial expression, therefore the factor (x-y)(x+2) is correct as it yields the same expression given earlier.)
