Factor completely 4xy + 9x + 24y + 54. (2 points)
(4y − 9)(x − 6)
(4y − 9)(x + 6)
(4y + 9)(x − 6)
(4y + 9)(x + 6)

can you plz help @welshfella
OpenStudy (welshfella):
we factor these by grouping
4xy + 9x + 24y + 54
= x(4y + 9) + 6(4y + 9)
as you see 4y+9 is common to 2 parts
can - you continue?
OpenStudy (tomy12345):
oh i see what me problem was I was trying to find the GFC of the coaffients to but seems I had to only have the x-variable GFC.
OpenStudy (tomy12345):
