## Text Solution

(i) $$\;(10x - 25) \div 5$$

What is known?

Algebraic expression.

What is unknown?

Division of the algebraic expression.

Reasoning:

Find out factor of $$(10x-25)$$ then cancel out common factors of $$(10x-25)$$ and $$5$$

Steps:

Factorising $$(10x-25)$$, We get

\begin{align}(10x - 25) &= 5 \times 2 \times x - 5 \times 5\\&= 5\left( {2x - 5} \right)\end{align}

\begin{align}(10x - 25) \div 5 &= \frac{{5(2x - 5)}}{5}\\& = 2x - 5\end{align}

(ii)  $$(10x - 25) \div (2x - 5)$$

What is known?

Algebraic expression.

What is unknown?

Division of the algebraic expression.

Reasoning:

Find out factor of $$(10x-25)$$ then cancel out common factors of $$(10x-25)$$ and $$(2x-5)$$.

Steps:

Factorising $$(10x-25)$$, We get

\begin{align}(10x - 25) &= 5 \times 2 \times x - 5 \times 5\\&= 5\left( {2x - 5} \right)\end{align}

\begin{align}(10x - 25) \div (2x -5)&=\frac{{5(2x - 5)}}{{2x - 5}}\\&= 5\end{align}

(iii) $$\;10y(6y + 21) \div 5(2y + 7)$$

What is known?

Algebraic expression.

What is unknown?

Division of the algebraic expression.

Reasoning:

Find out factor of $$10y(6y + 21)$$ then cancel out common factors of $$10y(6y + 21)$$ and $$5(2y + 7)$$.

Steps:

Factorising $$10y(6y + 21)$$, We get

\begin{align}10y(6y + 21) &= 5 \times 2 \times y \times \left( {2 \times 3 \times y + 3 \times 7} \right)\\&= 5 \times 2 \times y \times 3\left( {2 \times y + 7} \right)\\&= 30y\left( {2y + 7} \right)\end{align}

\begin{align}10y(6y + 21) \div 5(2y + 7) &= \frac{{30y(2y + 7)}}{{5(2y+7)}}\\&=6y\end{align}

(iv) $$\;9{x^2}{y^2}(3z - 24) \div 27xy(z - 8)$$

What is known?

Algebraic expression.

What is unknown?

Division of the algebraic expression.

Reasoning:

Find out factor of $$9{x^2}{y^2}(3z - 24)$$ then cancel out common factors of $$9{x^2}{y^2}(3z - 24)$$ and $$27xy(z - 8)$$.

Steps:

Factorising $$9{x^2}{y^2}(3z - 24)$$, We get

\begin{align}9{x^2}{y^2}(3z - 24) &= 3 \times 3 \times x \times x \times y \times y \times \left( {3 \times z - 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3} \right)\\&= 3 \times 3 \times x \times x \times y \times y \times 3\left( {z - 2 \times 2 \times 2} \right)\\&= 27{x^2}{y^2}\left( {z - 8} \right)\end{align}

\begin{align}9{x^2}{y^2}(3z - 24) \div 27xy(z - 8) &= \frac{{27{x^2}{y^2} \times (z - 8)}}{{27xy(z - 8)}}\\&= xy\end{align}

(v) $$\,96abc(3a - 12)(5b - 30) \div 144(a - 4)(b - 6)$$

What is known?

Algebraic expression.

What is unknown?

Division of the algebraic expression.

Reasoning:

Find out factor of $$96abc(3a - 12)(5b - 30)$$ then cancel out common factors of $$96abc(3a - 12)(5b - 30)$$ and $$144(a - 4)(b - 6)$$.

Steps:

Factorising $$96abc(3a - 12)(5b - 30)$$, We get

\begin{align}96abc(3a - 12)(5b - 30) &= 96abc \times \left( {3 \times a - 2 \times 2 \times 3} \right) \times \left( {5 \times b - 5 \times 2 \times 3} \right)\\&= 96abc \times 3\left( {a - 2 \times 2} \right) \times 5\left( {b - 2 \times 3} \right)\\&= 1440abc\left( {a - 4} \right)\left( {b - 6} \right)\end{align}

\begin{align}96abc(3a - 12)(5b - 30) \div 144(a - 4)(b - 6)\\&={\frac{{1440abc\left( {a - 4} \right)\left( {b - 6} \right)}}{{144(a - 4)(b - 6)}}}\\&= {10abc}\end{align}
