3 pupils were asked to factorise 9x2(2y – 7) + (7 – 2y). Part of their solutions are shown below.

Pupil A: 9x2(2y – 7) – (2y – 7) Pupil B: 9x2(2y – 7) – (2y – 7) Pupil C: 9x2(2y – 7) – (2y – 7)

= (2y – 7)9x2 = (9x2 – 1) (2y – 7) = (2y – 7)(9x2 – 1)
= (2y – 7)9x2 = (3x – 1)2(2y – 7) = (2y – 7)(9x – 1)(9x + 1)
