Identify Grouping Method: Step Title: Identify the Grouping MethodConcise Step Description: Group terms in the expression to prepare for factoring by grouping.Calculation: Group the terms as (18wx+6w) and (3x+1).
Factor Out Common Factors: Step Title: Factor Out the Common Factors from Each GroupConcise Step Description: Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.Calculation: From the first group 18wx+6w, factor out 6w to get 6w(3x+1). From the second group (3x+1), the common factor is 1, so it remains (3x+1).
Factor by Grouping: Step Title: Factor by GroupingConcise Step Description: Factor out the common binomial factor from the grouped terms.Calculation: Since both groups contain the common binomial factor (3x+1), factor it out to get (3x+1)(6w+1).
