Factor out a GCF. Then factor further.

4x² + 28x + 48

• (x + 3)(x + 4)

• 4(x + 3)(x + 4)

• 4(x² + 7x + 12)

• 4(x + 4)(x + 12)

Factor: x² – 13x + 36

• (x – 9)(x – 4)

• (x – 1)(x – 13)

• (x + 4)(x + 9)

• (x² – 13)(x + 36)

Factor: x² + 3x – 18

• (x – 6)(x + 3)

• (x – 3)(x + 6)

• (x + 1)(x + 3)

• (x – 5)(x + 8)
