Answer:

Tamara incorrectly factored the whole expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that

21x=3·7·x;
56xy=2·2·2·7·x·y.

Mark in bold all common factors, then GCF(21x,56xy)=7·x=7x.

Thus,

21x+56xy=7x(3+8y).

Hence, Tamara correctly found the GCF of numbers 21 and 56, but incorrectly factored the whole expression.
