Factorize completely
x2 + 2xy + y 2 + 3x + 3y − 18.
Mathematics JAMB 1999
Factorize completely x2 + 2xy + y 2 + 3x + 3y − 18.
A. (x+y+6)(x+y-3)
B. (x-y-6)(x-y+3)
C. (x-y+6)(x-y-3)
D. (x+y-6)(x+y+3)
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
Expand the options and collect like terms to check which gives the
presented expression.
Expansion of Options A:
(x+y+6)(x+y-3) → x2 + xy − 3x + xy + y 2 − 3y + 6x + 6y − 18
Collect like terms: x2 + xy + xy + y 2 + 6x − 3x + 6y − 3y − 18
= x2 + 2xy + y 2 + 3x + 3y − 18

x2 +2xy + y2 +3x + 3y -18

regrouping the terms above we have:
(x2 +2xy + y2) + [(3x+3y)-18]
(x + y)2 + 3(x + y) - 18
let z = x +y
z2 +3z -18
z2+6z-3z-18
z(z+6) -3(z+6)
(z+6) (z-3)
substituting x +y = z back into the expression:
(x+ y +6) (x +y -3)

option A is the answer
if u expand option a which is (a)(x+y+6) (b)(x+y-3)by multiplyin both dat is

bracket a to bracket b
u will get x^2+xy-3x+xy+y^2-3y+6x+6y-18
then collect like terms u get
x^2+2xy+y2+3x+3y-18 which was d question u were u given 2 factorize

how about expanding each option to get the equation. consequently

whichever option gives the given equation is the right answer. #capeesh

but what if there was no option

firstly you factorize it and we have

x^2 +(2y+3)x+(y^2 +3y)
abc
Then we use quadratic formular
-b±√(b^2 -4ac)
2a
to get your answer

X^2 2xy y^2 3x 3y-18=(x y)^2 3(x y)-18
let (x y) be p,and subtitute to the equ.
= p^2 3p-18
=p^2 6p-3p-18
=p(p 6)-3(p 6)
=(p-3)(p 6)
recall: p=x y,sutitute to the answer
=(x y-3)(x y 6).

+ is at the empty space. It is due to site error

2 factorise dis expression, first look at a
number(constant) i.e -18.wat r its factors .i.e 2,3 6 9 .but
in d option u have 3 and 6. * and since is -18 , always give
d smaller number - nd biger + i. e -3 and +6. ",!!! 6 multiply
by -3 = -18.
den go 2 d options now n u can find ur answer by

multiplyin de brackets were u find 6 in d first bracket
followed by-3 .
i.e (x+y+6)(x+y-3)=x2+xy-3x+xy+y2-3y+6x+6y-18.....
strike out by way of collectin like terms. 2 have
x2+2xy+y2+3x+3y -18....
which d given exxpression.

NOTE:,make u don't change d signs of d cofficents.
abidesmondfalex: 
note: make sure d positve number comes first and also u
must not change sins be4 d cofficents.

In my own understand i wil say d answer is D when u factorize mutiple

your answer it were give u back d same as in d queation. Option D is (x y-
6)(x y 3) let mutiple it back now it wil give u something like dis X2 xy 3x xy
Y2 3y-18 collect d like terms which wil giv now as X2 2xy Y2 3x 3y-18.
Thank u

I say Option A is correct bcos when you carefully expand the option it
takes you back to the question..Try it and see how it turns out.

samie fully says a is correct. guys remmbr if u choose option d,u gt 3x-6x
+ 3y-6y wch wil gv x^2+ 2xy+y^2-3x-3y-18 wch iz nt in line wt d questn.

Here is an explanation:
TO DIVIDE BY FIRST CONVERTING FROM BASE 6 TO BASE 10 2434base6 to

base10 is 2x6^3 + 4x6^2 + 3x6^1 + 4x6^0=
432 + 144 + 18 + 4 =598.
42 base6 to base 10 is 4x6^1 + 2x6^0= 24 + 2= 26.
598/26= 23.
back to base 6= 23/6=2 R 5. 2/6 = 0 R 2. THE FINAL ANSWER IS 25

BASE6.the direct division will be coming soon. thank you.

The mathematical solution to the question apart from the wise guesses i
have seen is as follows:
Let (x+y+a)(x+y+b) be the factors. Expand it and collect like terms, you will
get x^2+2xy+y^2+(a+b)x+(a+b)y+ab. Equate it to the original eqn given
and compare the coefficients of x and y. U will have that a+b=3 and
ab=-18. Solve them simultaneously and you will get a quadratic which will
give you two values as 6 and -3. Hence the answer is (x+y+6)(x+y-3).
Option A
