Explanation:

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).


gcf = 2(a + b)

Factor out the GCF.


2(a + b)( (2(a + b))/(2(a + b)) + (4m(a + b))/(2(a + b))

now, Simplify each term in parentheses.


2(a + b)(1 + 2m)

hence, if we factor out the GCF (greatest common factor), we get the answer 2 (a + b) (1 + 2m).
