Steps to Factoring by Grouping:

• Factor out the GCF from each group
• Separate into groups

• Factor out the shared group & rewrite

• Make sure the "leftover" groups match

If factoring

3a² - 7a + 4

by rewriting the linear term and using grouping, how would your rewritten expression look?

• 3a² - 3a - 4a + 4

• 3a² - 5a - 2a + 4

• 3a² - 3a + 4a + 4

• 3a² - 2a - 6a + 4
