To factor difference of cubes To factor sum of cubes To factor by grouping
Pull out the cube roots Square the first term Change the Sign First times the second term Plus the last term squared

Factor By Grouping Mainly used when there are 4 terms Group the first two terms & the last two terms Factor from each group “Combine” like terms
(x + 5) (3x + 2y) (7y – 6) = (7y – 6)(x + 1)(x – 1)
10. 32ax + 12bx – 48ay – 18by = 2(16ax + 6bx – 24ay - 9by) = 2(2x(8a + 3b) – 3y(8a + 3b)) = 2 (2x – 3y) (8a + 3b)
11. 30ac + 80bd + 40ad + 60bc = 10(3ac + 8bd + 4ad + 6bc) = 10(3ac + 4ad + 8bd + 6bc) = 10(a(3c + 4d) + 2b(4d + 3c)) = 10 (a + 2b) (3c + 4d)
(x – 3) (x – 8) = 2(x – 8)(x + 2)(x – 2)
