There is a common factor of 4x.

4x(6x+5)

If you need help with this very important topic of FACTORING, please see my own website. Do a "Bing" or "Google" search for my last name "Rapalje". Look for "Rapalje Homepage" near the top of the search list. Then, near the top of my Homepage, look for "Basic, Intermediate and College Algebra: One Step at a Time." Click on "Basic Algebra" and look in Chapter 2 for several sections on Factoring, especially the one called "Factoring the Common Factor."

See also my FREE video on "Factoring". From my Homepage, look for "Rapalje Videos in Living Color," choose "Basic Algebra" and select the appropriate title. The videos are all free.
