Answer:


  • \bf{(x + y) * (2+y-x)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Expression :-


  • \sf{ 2(x+y) - x^2+y^2}

Steps to factorise :-


\longrightarrow\:\:\sf{2(x+y) - x^2+y^2}

  • Use the commutative property to reorder the terms


\longrightarrow\:\:\sf{2(x+y)+y^(2)-x^(2)}

  • Using a²-b² = (a-b) (a+b), factor the expression


\longrightarrow\:\:\sf{2(x+y)+(y-x)* (y+x)}

  • Factor out x+y from the expression


\longrightarrow\:\:\bf{(x + y) * (2+y-x)}
