Solution Steps

Step 1: Rearrange the terms

Rearrange the expression to group like terms together: \[ 8ba - 7 + 2b^2 - 7b = 2b^2 + 8ba - 7b - 7 \]

Step 2: Group the terms

Group the terms into two pairs: \[ (2b^2 + 8ba) + (-7b - 7) \]

Step 3: Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group

Factor out the GCF from each group: \[ 2b(b + 4a) - 7(b + 1) \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{(2b - 7)(b + 4a + 1)}\)
