Answer:

(4+m)(x+3)

Explanation:

x+3 is a common factor, so you can convert this to put the other 2 parts in a bracket. This results in (4+m)(x+3).

An example of how this works is if you made m=1 and x=2. This would make the original expression 4(2+3)+1(2+3), or 4×5+1×5, which is 5×5 or 25. (1+4)(2+3) also equals to 5×5.

**You may want to revise factorising algebraic equations. I'm always happy to help!
