Answer 1

Answer: (4y - 3)(3x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation: Factor the polynomial.

Answer 2

For this case we must factor the following expression:

`12xy-9x-8y + 6`

So:

We group the first two and two last terms:

`(12xy-9x) + (- 8y + 6) =`

we factor the maximum common denominator of each group:

`3x (4y-3) -2 (4y-3) =`

We factor the polynomial by factoring the highest common denominator:

`(3x-2) (4y-3)`

ANswer:

`(3x-2) (4y-3)`
