EXTRA POINTS! I'm factoring using the decomposition method and at the last step but I don't understand! Please help: y = x(2x + 12) + 1(4x + 24)

Answer:

y=2 (x+6) (x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x(2x + 12) + 1(4x + 24)

factor out a 2 from the first term and a 4 from the second term

y = 2x(x+6) + 4(x+6)

now factor out the (x+6) term

y = (x+6) [2x+4]

your two terms are (x+6) and (2x+4)

the last terms can have a 2 factored out

(x+6) 2(x+2)

2 (x+6) (x+2)
