Answer:

(2x + 1) (x + 2)

Explanation:

2x² + 4x + 1x + 2

They are already arranged, so you just have to find the GCF. 2x² + 4x have the GCF of 2 and 1x + 2 have the GCF of 1.

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

Now you divide the whole thing by x + 2.

2x (x + 2) + 1(x + 2)/ x + 2

One of them cancels out leaving (2x + 1) and (x+2)
