Question

How do you factorize `8x y - 9x`?

Answer 1

`8xy-9x=x(8y-9)`

Explanation:

To factorize `8xy-9x`, we need to find GCF of the two monomials `8xy` and `9x`.

As is observed GCF of `8` and `9` is just `1` and GCF of `xy` and `x` is `x`.

Hence GCF of `8xy`and `9x` is `1xx x=x`

Therefore `8xy-9x`

= `x xx 8y-x xx9`

= `x(8y-9)`
