Answer:


(2x - 3y)(x + 2)

Explanation:

We want to factor


2 {x}^(2) - 3xy - 6y + 4x

We regroup to obtain


2 {x}^(2) + 4x - 3xy - 6y

We factor to get:


2x(x + 2) - 3y(x + 2)

We collect a common factor of x+2 to obtain:

(2x-3y)(x+2)

Therefore the completely factored form is


2 {x}^(2) - 3xy - 6y + 4 = (2x - 3y)(x + 2)
