Answer

$26x+13=13(2x+1)$

Work Step by Step

Firstly, factorize $26$ as follows: $26=(13)\cdot(2)$ Now substitute $26=(13)\cdot(2)$ in $26x+13$ We get, $(13)(2)x+13$ Now use the reverse of Distributive law. We get, $13(2x+1)$ Thus, the two factors of $26x+13$ are $13$ and $2x+1$. That is, $26x+13=13(2x+1)$
