Answer:
(x + 1) (x + 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
You first need to split the middle term into 2 numbers, and these numbers must be able to be added to create 7 and be multiplied to make 6.
[tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 6x + 1x + 6
Then group:
([tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 6x) (1x + 6)
Then take out the GCF (greatest common factor) of both groups:
x(x + 6) 1(x + 6)
Then put x and 1 together:
(x + 1)
And since there's 2 (x + 6), you can get rid of one of them, leaving you with:
(x + 1) (x + 6)
