determine the factors
x2y + 3x2 + 3y + 9

(y+3) (x^2+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2y + 3x^2 + 3y + 9

I will factor by grouping

Taking the first two terms I can factor out x^2

Taking the last two terms I can factor out 3

x^2y + 3x^2     + 3y + 9

x^2(y+3)           + 3(y+3)

Now I can factor out (y+3)

(y+3) (x^2+3)

Since(x^2+3) and (y+3) cannot be factored , this is completely factored

step-by-step explanation:

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
