t(ts+3)

Explanation:

First ask yourself what number or variable is present in each term. Here we see that t occurs in each term. This is the variable that we can factor out of each term.

When we factor out t we must then ask ourselves what we must multiply t by to get the original problem.

What must we multiply t by to get t2?

That would be t. So we start out with:

t(t

Then we ask ourselves what we multiply t by to obtain ts.

That would be s giving us:

t(ts

Now for the last term we ask ourselves what we must multiply t by to obtain 3t.

That of course would be 3 giving us our answer of:

t(ts+3)
