What factor do the following trinomials have in common?
$$4x^2+13x+3\, \text{ and }\, 8x^2+22x-6$$
My try:
$$4x^2 + 13x +3 = (4x+1)(x+3)$$
$$8x^2 + 22x - 6 = 2(4x-1)(x+3)$$
The trinomials have no common factor.

The trinomials have no common factor.
Both trinomials have a factor of $(x+3)$.
$$4x^2 + 13x +3 = (4x+1)\color{blue}{ (x+3)}$$
$$8x^2 + 22x - 6 = 2(4x-1)\color{blue}{ (x+3)}$$
