Factorize completely 4abx - 2axy -12bx + 6bxy

  • A 2x(a - 3b)(2b - y)
  • B 2x(3b - a)(2b - y)
  • C 2x(a - 3b)(y - 2b)
  • D 2x(2b - a)(3b - y)

The correct answer is A. 2x(a - 3b)(2b - y)

The expression 4abx - 2axy -12bx + 6bxy can be factorized completely as follows:

First, we can group the first two terms and the last two terms:

(4abx - 2axy) + (-12bx + 6bxy)

Then, we can factor out the greatest common factor from each group:

2ax(2b - y) - 6bx(2 - y)

Now, we can factor out the greatest common factor from the entire expression:

2x(2b - y)(a - 3b)

So, the completely factorized form of the expression is 2x(2b - y)(a - 3b)
