a. 3xy+6xz=3x(y+2z)
b. \(18x^2y-12x^3=6x^2\left(3y-2x\right)\)

a. \(x\left(x+y\right)-7x-7y=x\left(x+y\right)-7\left(x+y\right)=\left(x+y\right)\left(x-7\right)\)

c. \(x\left(x+3y\right)-5x-15y=x\left(x+3y\right)-5\left(x+3y\right)=\left(x+3y\right)\left(x-5\right)\)
d. \(2x\left(x-5\right)+3x-15=2x\left(x-5\right)+3\left(x-5\right)=\left(x-5\right)\left(2x+3\right)\)
e. \(x\left(x+y\right)+ax+ay=x\left(x+y\right)+a\left(x+y\right)=\left(x+y\right)\left(x+a\right)\)
f. \(a\left(x+y\right)-4x-4y=a\left(x+y\right)-4\left(x+y\right)=\left(x+y\right)\left(a-4\right)\)

a.

c.
\(9\left(x-y\right)^2-4\left(x+y\right)^2=\left(3x-3y\right)^2-\left(2x+2y\right)^2\)
\(=\left\lbrack\left(3x-3y\right)-\left(2x+2y\right)\right\rbrack\left\lbrack\left(3x-3y\right)+\left(2x+2y\right)\right\rbrack=\left(x-5y\right)\left(5x-y\right)\)
d.
