Question 186808
{{{3u+ux+xy+3y}}} Start with the given expression


{{{(3u+3y)+(ux+xy)}}} Rearrange and group like terms



{{{3(u+y)+x(u+y)}}} Factor out the GCF {{{3}}} out of the first group. Factor out the GCF {{{x}}} out of the second group



{{{(3+x)(u+y)}}} Since we have the common term {{{u+y}}}, we can combine like terms


So {{{3u+3y+ux+xy}}} factors to {{{(3+x)(u+y)}}}
