The expression factors to (a+b)(2c+3d).

Explanation:

Use the factor by grouping method:

color(white)=2ac+3bd+2bc+3ad

=2ac+2bc+3ad+3bd

=color(Red)(2c)(a+b)+3ad+3bd

=color(Red)(2c)(a+b)+color(blue)(3d)(a+b)

=(color(Red)(2c)+color(blue)(3d))(a+b)

=(a+b)(color(Red)(2c)+color(blue)(3d))

That's the factoring. Hope this helped!
