Factor the polynomial by grouping the terms together two at a time.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We need to group terms in pairs so that we can factor out a common factor from each pair. Notice that the first two terms have a common factor of 11e, and the last two terms have a common factor of -8a. Factoring out these common factors, we get:
11e(c + d) - 8a(c + d)
Now we have a common factor of (c + d), which we can factor out:
(c + d)(11e - 8a)
Therefore, the answer is C.
