Then, factor again.
Then, you keep the factors in parenthesis, and combine the numbers on the outside.
Since, there are 2 of the same factor, you only need one.
BUT REMEMBER!! In the very beginning, we had a 3 that we took out, we STILL need to add that to the final answer. The <u>final answer</u> is:
