Explanation: ↓↓↓↓↓

↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔

       ➤ [ Step One ] Break Expression Into Groups

$\bold{\left(x^2+4x\right)+\left(-6x-24\right)}$

       ➤ [ Step Two ] Factor Out $\bold{x}$ From $\bold{x^2+4x}$

$\bold{x\left(x+4\right)}$

       ➤ [ Step Three ] Factor Out $\bold{-6}$ From $\bold{-6x-24}$

$\bold{-6\left(x+4\right)}$

       ➤ [ Step Four ] Rewrite Equation

$\bold{x\left(x+4\right)-6\left(x+4\right)}$

       ➤ [ Step Five ] Factor Out Common Term $\bold{x+4}$

$\bold{\left(x+4\right)\left(x-6\right)}$
