a) 5x - 15y = 5(x - 3y)
b) \(\dfrac{3}{5}\)x2 + 5x4 - x2 - y
= \(\dfrac{3}{5}\)x2 + 5x2.x2 - x2 - y
= x2(\(\dfrac{3}{5}\) + 5x2 -1) - y
c) 14x2y2 - 21xy2 + 28x2y
= 7xy.xy - 7xy.3y + 7xy.4x
= 7xy(xy - 3y + 4x)
= 7xy[(xy - 3y) + 4x]
= 7xy[y(x - 3) +4x]
d) \(\dfrac{2}{7}x\)(3y - 1) - \(\dfrac{2}{7}y\)(3y - 1)
= (3y - 1).(\(\dfrac{2}{7}x\) - \(\dfrac{2}{7}y\) )
= (3y - 1).[\(\dfrac{2}{7}\)(x - y)]
e) x3 - 3x2 + 3x - 1
= x2.x - 3x.x + 3.x - 1
= x(x2-3x+3) - 1
g) 27x3 + \(\dfrac{1}{8}\)
= (3x)3 + \(\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^3\)
= (3x + \(\dfrac{1}{2}\)).(9x2 - \(\dfrac{3}{2}\)x + \(\dfrac{1}{4}\))
h) (x+y)3 - (x-y)3
= 2(3x2y) + 2y3
