(x + 5)² − 4(x + 5)

Answer:

We have:
${(x + 5)}^{2} - 4 (x + 5) = (x + 5) \{(x + 5) - 4\}$
$= (x + 5) (x + 5 - 4) = (x + 5) (x + 1)$

∴ ${(x + 5)}^{2} - 4 (x + 5) = (x + 5) (x + 1)$

By grouping the terms:
$a r + b r + a t + b t = (a r + b r) + (a t + b t) = r (a + b) + t (a + b) = (a + b) (r + t)$

∴ $a r + b r + a t + b t = (a + b) (r + t)$

Factorise:
ab² + (a − 1)b − 1

Answer:

We have:
$a b^{2} + (a - 1) b - 1 = a b^{2} + b a - b - 1 = (a b^{2} + b a) - (b + 1) = a b (b + 1) - 1 (b + 1) = (b + 1) (a b - 1)$

∴ $a b^{2} + (a - 1) b - 1 = (b + 1) (a b - 1)$
