I want an explanation please

#

Does the answer become like that because there’s only an x left and 2 you just make a ( x+2) or how do you do

First, notice that both 28 and 56 are divisible by 28. So, factor that out first:
28x^2 + 56x = 28(x^2 + 2x)
Then, notice that x^2 and 2x are both divisible by x. So, factor out x, too:
28(x^2 + 2x) = 28x(x + 2)
