(i) 12x2 - 7x + 1
= 12x2 – 4x – 3x + 1
= 4x (3x – 1) – 1 (3x – 1)
= (3x – 1) (4x – 1)
(ii) 2x2 + 6x + x + 3
= 2x (x + 3) + 1 (x + 3)
= (x + 3) (2x + 1)
(iii) 6x2 + 5x – 6
= 6x2 + 9x – 4x – 6
= 3x (2x + 3) – 2 (2x + 3)
= (2x + 3) (3x – 2)
(iv) 3x2 – 4x + 3x – 4
= x (3x – 4) + 1 (3x – 4)
= (3x – 4) (x + 1)
