How to factorise a simple linear equation such as '9Y + 6'
Using the Example 9Y + 6 Factorising means to remove a common factor from both the ‘9Y’ term and the ‘6’ – this common factor will then be placed outside the brackets. For us to complete this question, we must first find the largest number that can divide into both coefficients 9 and 6 – this of course being 3 because 9Y and 6 can be divided by 3 to give whole integer answers. 9Y / 3 = 3Y6/3 = 2 So having found our largest common factor, and dividing our coefficients our factorisation becomes: 3(3Y + 2). The bracket represents our division sum answers and the 3 outside our common factor. For practice have a try at these questions:1) 6X + 122) 5Y + 153) 2X + 364) 4Y – 24
