Explanation:

we want to factor the following expression


\displaystyle px + qx + py + qy

to do so group px's and qy's


\displaystyle px + py + qx + qy

factor out p:


\displaystyle p(x + y ) + qx + qy

factor out "q":


\displaystyle p(x + y ) + q(x + y)

group:


\boxed{ \displaystyle( p+ q)(x + y)}
