The expression is fully factorized to give (h + 4) (h + 3)

To factorize the expression, we have that the expression is given as;

h² +7h+12

Now, find the pair factors of the constant value that add up to give 7, then, substitute the value of 7 with the two factors.

Then, we have;

h² + 3h + 4h + 12

Group the expression in pairs, we get;

(h² + 3h) + (4h + 12)

h(h + 3) + 4(h + 3)

Then, we get that the expressions;

(h + 4) (h + 3)
