Factorise 4xy-6xz

Method

First Look for a term (i.e x , y, z) which is in all the compoents

Also look if there is a possible common factor that the compoents share

Soloution

​x is a shared term , and 2 is a common multiple

The common factor is 2x

​2x(2y-3z) = (2x.2y)-(2x-3z)

​                 = 4xy-6xz
