Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$4(2x + 3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

$2x + 3 + 2x + 3 + 2x + 3 + 2x + 3$

2. Collect like terms.

$(2x + 2x + 2x + 2x)(3 + 3 + 3 + 3 )$

3. Simplify.

$8x + 12$

4. Factor out the common term.

$4(2x + 3$

Therefor, the answer is 4(2x + 3)
