Question

Is this wrong?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The last step is a little wrong. Lemme show you:

x(x + 2) + (x + 2)

Imagine there is an invisible '1' infront of (x + 2) like this:

= x(x + 2) + 1(x + 2)

Now we can combine the like terms together:

= (x + 1)(x + 2)

This is the correct factorization.
