Question

Factor (x-3)²+4(x-3)​

Answer 1

Answer:

${(x - 3)}^{2} + 4(x - 3) \\ = (x - 3)((x - 3) + 4) \\ (x - 3)(x - 3+ 4) \\ = (x - 3)(x + 1)$

(x - 3) is common factor

Imagine you are multiplying or dividing each term by the common factor

${(x - 3)}^{2} + 4(x - 3) \\ \frac{{(x - 3)}^{2}}{(x - 3)}+(x-3)4\frac{(x - 3)}{(x - 3)}\\(x-3)((x-3)+4)$
