Answer:

5x(x+4)

Explanation:

break the figure into 2 parts the rectangle and the triangle

rectangle: 2x* (2x+6)

4x^2 + 12x



triangle = 1/2 b*h

= 1/2(2x) * (x+8)

= x* (x+8)

x^2 + 8x


add the two parts together


4x^2 + 12x+ x^2 + 8x

4x^2 + x^2 + 12x+8x

5x^2 + 20x

factor out a 5x

5x(x+4)
