Question

The Nolansky family has saved $360 as a down payment for a new computer. If x is the monthly payment for one year, the expression $12x + $360 represents the total cost of the computer. Factor this expression.

Answer 1

12x + 360 = 12(x + 30)

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

Factorization of $12x+$360 is:

$12(x+30)

Explanation:

We have to factor the following expression:

$12x+$360

We know that 360=12×30

$12x+$360= $12x+$12×30

= $12(x+30) (by using the distributive property)

Hence, Factorization of $12x+$360 is:

$12(x+30)
