Answer:

A) (2x + 1)(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor 2x² + 7x + 3

Since 2 is prime (it's only factors are 1 and itself) we know we can start out our factors as..

(2x + a)(x + b)

Three is also prime, so we either have

(2x + 1)(x + 3)

or

(2x + 3)(x + 1)

Foiling (2x + 1)(x + 3) will give us the result we want.  So the answer is A
