Question 186602: 3u+ux+xy+3y

You can put this solution on YOUR website! You did not say what to do with this problem.
I assume you need to factor by groups. If so, we create two groups.
3u + ux = group 1
xy + 3y = group 2
We factor each group individually,
3u + ux becomes u(x + 3).
xy + 3y becomes y(x + 3)
We now have the following:
u(x + 3) + y(x + 3)
Do you see the quantity (x + 3)? We only need one of them. We also add u plus y and place them in their own parentheses.
Final answer: (u + y)(x + 3)
