Determine whether the following polynomials can be factored by grouping. If so, factor the polynomials showing how.
If not, someone explain why this method will not work.
a. 2c2 + 4cd + 3c + 3d
b. 4g2 + 12gh + 5g + 15h

Answer 1

Group the terms (2c^2 + 4cd) + (3c + 3d)

Factor common factor: 2c(c + d) + 3(c + d)
(c + d)(2c + 3)

Answer 2

Thanks for the help. I finished solving it!
