1. Question:Evaluate 7`xx`19.3+8`xx`19.3-5`xx`19.3 

    Answer
    7`xx`19.3+8 `xx` 19.3 - 5`xx`19.3
     =19.3(7+8-5)
     =19.3 `xx`10
     =193

  2. Question:Evaluate 19.3`pi` - 15.8`pi` 

    Answer
    19.3`pi` - 15.8`pi` =`pi`(19.3-15.8)=`pi` `xx`3.5 
    
                                       = `22/7 xx 7/2`
    
                                       = 11

  3. Question:Factories ax+bx+ay+by 

    Answer
    ax+bx+ay+by = (ax+bx) + (ay+by)
                           = x(a+b) +y (a+b)
                           =(a+b) (x+y).

  4. Question:Factorise ax + ay -x -y . 

    Answer
    ax + ay -x -y=a(x+y) - (x+y) 
                        =(x+y) (a-1).
    
     Notice that when the last two terms are grouped with a minus sign outside. the signs of both terms in the bracket must be changed.
    
                        ax + ay -x -y=a(x+y) - (x+y) 
     and not     
                       a(x+y) - (x-y) .
    
    It is good plan to remove the brackets mentally to check your working.

  5. Question:Factorise `xx^2`y - `xxy^2`+3y -3`xx` 

    Answer
    `xx^2`y - `xxy^2`+(3y -3`xx`) = xy(x-y) +3(y-x)
    
    This has no obvious factor as the expression inside the brackets are different .
      but if we arrange the expression as 
       
    `xx^2`y - `xxy^2`-3`xx`+3y) = `xx`y(x-y) -3(x-y),
    
    An obvious factor is now apparent.
    The factors are (x-y)(xy-3).
