The expression you provided is:

\[
6ab + a
\]

This expression cannot be simplified further because the two terms \(6ab\) and \(a\) are not like terms (they don’t share the same variables). However, you can factor out \(a\), which appears in both terms, to get:

\[
a(6b + 1)
\]

Would you like more details on factoring, or do you have any questions?

Here are five related questions for further practice:
1. How would you factor \(3ac + 9a\)?
2. What is the result of factoring \(5xy + 10x\)?
3. Can you simplify the expression \(7x^2 + 14x\)?
4. How do you expand the factored form \(2x(3y + 4)\)?
5. How would you simplify \(4mn + 8m\)?

**Tip:** Always check for common factors when simplifying or factoring expressions.
