S<span>tep-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant </span><span> <span> 3</span> • 4 = 12</span>
<span>Step-2 : Find two factors of </span> 12 <span> whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is </span><span> 13 </span><span>.
</span><span><span>
-12 + -1 = -13</span><span>
-6 + -2 = -8</span><span>
-4 + -3 = -7</span><span>
-3 + -4 = -7</span><span>
-2 + -6 = -8</span><span>
-1 + -12 = -13</span><span>
1 + 12 = 13 </span></span>
10ax + 5bx - 8ay - 4by = 5x(2a + b) - 4y(2a + b) = (5x - 4y)(2a + b)
