Explanation:

If you have written the question correctly, then you don't need to factor it. You only need to remove the brackets.

x + 1 + 6x + 6 + 8

7x + 15 is your final answer.

However, I think the question is

(x + 1)^2 + 6(x + 1) + 8

Let y = x + 1

y^2 + 6y + 8

(y + 2)(y + 4)

(x + 1 + 2 ) ( x + 1 + 4)

(x + 3)(x + 5)
