Factorise the following expressions​.

Q.1 a²+10a+24

splitting the middle.

a²+6a+4a+24

=a(a+6)+4(a+6)

(a+6)(a+4)

Q.2 x²+9x+18

splitting the middle

x²+6x+3x+18

x(x+6)+3(x+6)

(x+6)(x+3)

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

−3x
