To solve this I'm going to split the middle term. First multiply the first and last terms: 24x^2 So find two numbers that multiply to 24x^2 and add to 11x. This would be 3x and 8x Rewrite the problem as 4x^2+3x+8x+6 Take the first and 3rd and 2nd and 4th terms 4x^2 and 8x and 3x and 6 Factor by grouping Take out a 4x for the first group to get 4x(x+2) Take out a 3 for the 2nd group to get 3(x+2) Rewrite as (4x+3)(x+2) Hope this helps.
