Chapter 5 - Section 5.5 - The Greatest Common Factor and Factoring by Grouping - Exercise Set: 63

(2x + 3y)(x + 2)

Work Step by Step

1. Rearrange 2$x^{2}$ + 3xy + 4x + 6y = 2$x^{2}$ + 4x + 3xy + 6y 2. Factor out the GCF from the two groups of two monomials. 2x(x + 2) + 3y(x + 2) 3. Use the distributive property to simplify. (2x + 3y)(x + 2)
