Question

Factorise 2a(b+c)+4(b+c)

Answer 1

First, we can factor out the common factor of (b+c):

2a(b+c) + 4(b+c)
= 2a(b+c) + 4(b+c)
= (2a + 4)(b+c)

Therefore, the factorization of 2a(b+c) + 4(b+c) is (2a + 4)(b+c).

Answer 2

or even 2(a+2)(b+c)

Answer 3

Yes, you are correct! The expression can also be factorized as 2(a+2)(b+c). Thank you for pointing that out.
