Factorize the expression 2y\(^2\) + xy - 3x\(^2\)
A
2y (y + x) - 3x2
B
(2y - x)(2y + x)
C
(3x - 2y(x - y)
D
(2y + 3x)(y - x)
E
(x – y)(2y + 3x)
Verified Correct Answer: D.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
2y\(^2\) + xy - 3x\(^2\)
2y\(^2\) + 3xy - 2xy - 3x\(^2\)
y(2y + 3x) - x(2y + 3x)
= (y - x)(2y + 3x)
