    solve
    factorize (2x+3)*7

    (2X*7)+(3*7)

    Now you can solve from this point.

    What is your exact question?

    This doesn't need to be factorised as this is the simplest form that you can get from an expression like that.

    Does '*' mean power? Even so, it's in the simplest form.

    The "*" symbol typically means multiplication (same as it's used in Excel spreadsheets). But like you, I don't understand the OP's question.

    Mhm, I know that asterisk means multiplication, but it's just that it's seldom used at the end of brackets and I just wanted to make sure of what the actual expression was.

    Like in Tcl (tool command language) double asterisk is the symbol for power. So, to say 2 power 3, you'd write 2**3 instead of 2^3.
