Identify Common Factor: Identify the common factor in both terms.Both terms 5x(4x+3) and 2(4x+3) have a common factor of (4x+3).
Factor Out Common Factor: Factor out the common factor (4x+3). The expression can be written as (4x+3)(5x+2) by factoring out the common factor.
Check Factored Expression: Check the factored expression by distributing to ensure it matches the original expression.(4x+3)(5x)+(4x+3)(2) should result in the original expression 5x(4x+3)+2(4x+3).Distributing gives us 20x2+15x+8x+6, which simplifies to 20x2+23x+6.This does not match the original expression, indicating a math error in the distribution.
