2x^2 + 4x + 3xy + 6y

enter your answer in the boxes.

Answer 1

The completely factored expression of 2x^2 + 4x + 3xy + 6y is (2x + 3y)(x + 2)

How to factor the polynomial?

The expression is given as:

2x^2 + 4x + 3xy + 6y

Group the expression into two

[2x^2 + 4x] + [3xy + 6y]

Factor out each group

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

Factor out x + 2

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

Hence, the completely factored expression of 2x^2 + 4x + 3xy + 6y is (2x + 3y)(x + 2)
