Question #6a6fd

Answer 1

`12 + 6x = 3(4 + 2x)`

Explanation:

This questions is basically telling you to "Factorise the expression"

In order to factorise:

1) Find the Greatest Common Denominator (GCD) for all terms.
GCD of `12` and `6x` is `6`.

In this case use `3` because `12 div 3=4`

2) Put this number outside the bracket:

`3(`Something will go inside this bracket`)`

3) Divide each term by the factor `3` and put it inside the bracket:

`3(12/3 + (6x)/3) = 3(4 + 2x)`
