1. Find the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of 24, 84 and 156
………………….….….
2. Simplify

3x  7 y  2 x  5 y = 5 y  11x  2 y  5 x =

7a 3b  3ab5 = 32 x 5 y 8  4 xy 2 =

(3 xy 2 ) 3 = 4 xy  6 x 3 y 4
=
12 x 2 y 3

3. Expand and simplify

(3x  4)(x  2) = (5 y  4)(8 y  6) =

(5 x  4)(3x  1) = 2( x  3)  3(2 x  1) =

x(2 x  1)  2 x(5  x) = 5(3x  1)  (2 x  1) =

4. Factorise completely.

3 xy 2  9 x 2 y 2 = 6 x 3  15 xy =

x 2  25 = 4x 2  1 =

x 2  x  20 = x 2  11x  24 =
