factor b(x+4) + 7(x+4)

Question

factor  b(x+4) + 7(x+4)

Answer 1

I'm not entirely sure what you are looking for, but you can pull out an (x+4) and end up with (x+4)(b+7)

 

Or you can multiply through the b and 7 so bx+4b+7x+28

 

Hopefully that is somewhat helpful, otherwise I will need some clarification

Answer 2

Hi Pat,

 

bx+4b+7x+28

=b(x+4)+7(x+4)

=(x+4)(b+7)
