    5 (2x - 1)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    2 (x - 6) + 4 (2x + 1) + 3 ← distribute both parenthesis

    = 2x - 12 + 8x + 4 + 3 ← collect like terms

    = (2x + 8x) + ( - 12 + 4 + 3)

    = 10x + ( - 5)

    = 10x - 5 ← factor out 5 from each term

    = 5 (2x - 1) ← in factored form
