provide your answer below:

Explanation:

Group the terms of the polynomial

Using the Factoring by Grouping knowledge point

$$ (mn + 2n) + (m + 2) $$

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group

Using the Greatest Common Factor Factoring knowledge point

$$ n(m + 2) + 1(m + 2) $$

Factor out the common binomial factor

Using the Factoring by Grouping knowledge point

$$ (m + 2)(n + 1) $$
