Factoring three terms with distributive property

The video tutorial explains how to factor expressions by finding the greatest common factor (GCF). It begins with an introduction to factoring and the importance of identifying the GCF. The instructor demonstrates how to find the GCF of numbers and variables, followed by a step-by-step process of factoring using the GCF. The tutorial includes dividing each term by the GCF and simplifying the expressions to reach the final answer.

Why can Y not be included in the GCF?

What is the final factored form of the expression?
