Factories:

(i) 12x + 15


(ii) 14m – 21


(iii) 9n – 12n2

(i) 12x + 15


Taking 3 as common from the whole, we get,


12x + 15 = 3(4x + 5).


(ii) 14m – 21,


Taking 7 as common from the whole, we get,


14m – 21 = 7(2m – 3)


(iii) 9n – 12n2,


Taking 3n as common from the whole, we get,


9n – 12n2 = 3n (3 – 4n).
