$(a + 3 b) (2 x - y)$ $(a + 3b) (2x - y)$

$2 a x + 6 b x - a y - 3 b y$ $2ax + 6bx - ay - 3by$

Grouping the equation;

$(2 a x + 6 b x) (- a y - 3 b y)$ $(2ax + 6bx) (-ay - 3by)$

Factorising out the common factors;

$2 x (a + 3 b) - y (a + 3 b)$ $2x(a + 3b) -y (a + 3b)$

$(a + 3 b) (2 x - y) \to Factorised$ $(a + 3b) (2x - y) -> "Factorised"$
