(viii) −4a2 + 4ab − 4 ca
(ix) x2yz + xy2z + xyz2
(x) ax2y + bxy2 + cxyz
Answer:
(i) 7x = 7 × x
42 = 2 × 3 × 7
The common factor is 7.
∴ 7x − 42 = (7 × x) − (2 × 3 × 7) = 7 (x − 6)
(ii) 6p = 2 × 3 × p
12q = 2 × 2 × 3 × q
The common factors are 2 and 3.
∴ 6p − 12q = (2 × 3 × p) − (2 × 2 × 3 × q)
= 2 × 3 [p − (2 × q)]
= 6 (p − 2q)
(iii) 7a2 = 7 × a × a
14a = 2 × 7 × a
The common factors are 7 and a.
∴ 7a2 + 14a = (7 × a × a) + (2 × 7 × a)
= 7 × a [a + 2] = 7a (a + 2)
(iv) 16z = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × z
20z3 = 2 × 2 × 5 × z × z × z
The common factors are 2, 2, and z.
∴ −16z + 20z3 = − (2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × z) + (2 × 2 × 5 × z × z × z)
= (2 × 2 × z) [− (2 × 2) + (5 × z × z)]
= 4z (− 4 + 5z2)
(v) 20l2m = 2 × 2 × 5 × l × l × m
30alm = 2 × 3 × 5 × a × l × m
The common factors are 2, 5, l, and m.
∴ 20l2m + 30alm = (2 × 2 × 5 × l × l × m) + (2 × 3 × 5 × a × l × m)
= (2 × 5 × l × m) [(2 × l) + (3 × a)]
= 10lm (2l + 3a)
(vi) 5x2y = 5 × x × x × y
15xy2 = 3 × 5 × x × y × y
The common factors are 5, x, and y.
∴ 5x2y − 15xy2 = (5 × x × x × y) − (3 × 5 × x × y × y)
= 5 × x × y [x − (3 × y)]
= 5xy (x − 3y)
(vii) 10a2 = 2 × 5 × a × a
15b2 = 3 × 5 × b × b
20c2 = 2 × 2 × 5 × c × c
The common factor is 5.
10a2 − 15b2 + 20c2 = (2 × 5 × a × a) − (3 × 5 × b × b) + (2 × 2 × 5 × c × c)
= 5 [(2 × a × a) − (3 × b × b) + (2 × 2 × c × c)]
= 5 (2a2 − 3b2 + 4c2)
(viii) 4a2 = 2 × 2 × a × a
4ab = 2 × 2 × a × b
4ca = 2 × 2 × c × a
The common factors are 2, 2, and a.
∴ −4a2 + 4ab − 4ca = − (2 × 2 × a × a) + (2 × 2 × a × b) − (2 × 2 × c × a)
= 2 × 2 × a [− (a) + b − c]
= 4a (−a + b − c)
(ix) x2yz = x × x × y × z
xy2z = x × y × y × z
xyz2 = x × y × z × z
The common factors are x, y, and z.
∴ x2yz + xy2z + xyz2 = (x × x × y × z) + (x × y × y × z) + (x × y × z × z)
= x × y × z [x + y + z]
= xyz (x + y + z)
(x) ax2y = a × x × x × y
bxy2 = b × x × y × y
cxyz = c × x × y × z
The common factors are x and y.
ax2y + bxy2 + cxyz = (a × x × x × y) + (b × x × y × y) + (c × x × y × z)
= (x × y) [(a × x) + (b × y) + (c × z)]
= xy (ax + by + cz)

(v) z − 7 + 7xy − xyz
Answer:
(i) x2 + xy + 8x + 8y = x × x + x × y + 8 × x + 8 × y
= x (x + y) + 8 (x + y)
= (x + y) (x + 8)
(ii) 15xy − 6x + 5y − 2 = 3 × 5 × x × y − 3 × 2 × x + 5 × y − 2
= 3x (5y − 2) + 1 (5y − 2)
= (5y − 2) (3x + 1)
(iii) ax + bx − ay − by = a × x + b × x − a × y − b × y
= x (a + b) − y (a + b)
= (a + b) (x − y)
(iv) 15pq + 15 + 9q + 25p = 15pq + 9q + 25p + 15
= 3 × 5 × p × q + 3 × 3 × q + 5 × 5 × p + 3 × 5
= 3q (5p + 3) + 5 (5p + 3)
= (5p + 3) (3q + 5)
(v) z − 7 + 7xy − xyz = z − x × y × z − 7 + 7 × x × y
= z (1 − xy) − 7 (1 − xy)

Answer:
L.H.S = 2x + 3y ≠ R.H.S.
The correct statement is 2x + 3y = 2x + 3y
Question 4:
Find and correct the errors in the statement: x + 2x + 3x = 5x
Answer:
L.H.S = x + 2x + 3x =1x + 2x + 3x = x(1 + 2 + 3) = 6x ≠ R.H.S.
The correct statement is x + 2x + 3x = 6x
Question 5:
Find and correct the errors in the statement: 5y + 2y + y − 7y = 0
Answer:
L.H.S. = 5y + 2y + y − 7y = 8y − 7y = y ≠ R.H.S
The correct statement is 5y + 2y + y − 7y = y
Question 6:
Find and correct the errors in the statement: 3x + 2x = 5x2
Answer:
L.H.S. = 3x + 2x = 5x ≠ R.H.S
The correct statement is 3x + 2x = 5x
Question 7:
Find and correct the errors in the statement: (2x)2 + 4(2x) + 7 = 2x2 + 8x + 7
Answer:
L.H.S = (2x)2 + 4(2x) + 7 = 4x2 + 8x + 7 ≠ R.H.S
The correct statement is (2x)2 + 4(2x) + 7 = 4x2 + 8x + 7
Question 8:
Find and correct the errors in the statement: (2x)2 + 5x = 4x + 5x = 9x
Answer:
L.H.S = (2x)2 + 5x = 4x2 + 5x ≠ R.H.S.
The correct statement is (2x)2 + 5x = 4x2 + 5x
Question 9:
Find and correct the errors in the statement: (3x + 2)2 = 3x2 + 6x + 4
Answer:
L.H.S. = (3x + 2)2 = (3x)2 + 2(3x)(2) + (2)2 [(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2]
= 9x2 + 12x + 4 ≠ R.H.S
The correct statement is (3x + 2)2 = 9x2 + 12x + 4

Question 10:
Find and correct the errors in the following mathematical statement. Substituting x = −3 in
(a) x2 + 5x + 4 gives (−3)2 + 5 (−3) + 4 = 9 + 2 + 4 = 15
(b) x2 − 5x + 4 gives (−3)2 − 5 (−3) + 4 = 9 − 15 + 4 = −2
(c) x2 + 5x gives (−3)2 + 5 (−3) = −9 − 15 = −24
Answer:
(a) For x = −3,
x2 + 5x + 4 = (−3)2 + 5 (−3) + 4 = 9 − 15 + 4 = 13 − 15 = −2
(b) For x = −3,
x2 − 5x + 4 = (−3)2 − 5 (−3) + 4 = 9 + 15 + 4 = 28
(c) For x = −3,
x2 + 5x = (−3)2 + 5(−3) = 9 − 15 = −6
Question 11:
Find and correct the errors in the statement: (y − 3)2 = y2 − 9
Answer:
L.H.S = (y − 3)2 = (y)2 − 2(y)(3) + (3)2 [(a − b)2 = a2 − 2ab + b2]
= y2 − 6y + 9 ≠ R.H.S
The correct statement is (y − 3)2 = y2 − 6y + 9
Question 12:
Find and correct the errors in the statement: (z + 5)2 = z2 + 25
Answer:
L.H.S = (z + 5)2 = (z)2 + 2(z)(5) + (5)2 [(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2]
= z2 + 10z + 25 ≠ R.H.S
The correct statement is (z + 5)2 = z2 + 10z + 25
Question 13:
Find and correct the errors in the statement: (2a + 3b) (a − b) = 2a2 − 3b2
Answer:
L.H.S. = (2a + 3b) (a − b) = 2a × a + 3b × a − 2a × b − 3b × b
= 2a2 + 3ab − 2ab − 3b2 = 2a2 + ab − 3b2 ≠ R.H.S.
The correct statement is (2a + 3b) (a − b) = 2a2 + ab − 3b2
Question 14:
Find and correct the errors in the statement: (a + 4) (a + 2) = a2 + 8
Answer:
L.H.S. = (a + 4) (a + 2) = (a)2 + (4 + 2) (a) + 4 × 2
= a2 + 6a + 8 ≠ R.H.S
The correct statement is (a + 4) (a + 2) = a2 + 6a + 8
Question 15:
Find and correct the errors in the statement: (a − 4) (a − 2) = a2 − 8
Answer:
L.H.S. = (a − 4) (a − 2) = (a)2 + [(− 4) + (− 2)] (a) + (− 4) (− 2)
= a2 − 6a + 8 ≠ R.H.S.
The correct statement is (a − 4) (a − 2) = a2 − 6a + 8
