2m^2(m+4)+5(m+4)

Question

This is a question from pre algebra, factoring by grouping.

Answer 1

2m²(m+4) + 5(m+4)  - original expression

Hi Summer... I'm not sure what you need as an end result, but here are two possibilities:

2m³ + 8m² + 5m + 20     - do the multiplications

(m+4) (2m² + 5)     - pull out the common term, (m+4).   (2M² + 5) won't factor further.
