Which of the following expressions can be factored by grouping? (Select all that apply.) a^2 - 9 a + 7 ab + 63 b
3 a + 4 ab - b - 12
ab + 6 b - 2 a - 12
x^3 + 9 x^2 + 7 x + 63
ay^2 + a - y^2 - 1

Options (3), (4) and (5)

Step-by-step explanation:

1). a² - 9a + 7ab + 63b

  = a(a - 9) + 7b(a + 9)

  Now we can not solve this problem further.

  Therefore, can't be factored by grouping.

2). 3a + 4ab - b - 12

   = a(3 + 4b) - 1(b - 12)

   We can't solve it further.

   Therefore, can't be factored by grouping.

3). ab + 6b - 2a - 12

   = b(a + 6) - 2(a + 6)

   = (b - 2)(a + 6)

  We can be factored this expression by grouping.

4). x³ + 9x²+ 7x + 63

   = x²(x + 9) + 7(x + 9)

   = (x² + 7)(x + 9)

   Therefore, the given expression can be factored by grouping.

5). ay² + a - y² - 1

  = a(y² + 1) - 1(y² + 1)

  = (a - 1)(y² + 1)

  This expression can be factored by the grouping method.

Options (3), (4) and (5) are the correct answers.

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1

none cuz there are no "following statements" regarding the question
