Question

Factor −12 out of −12x+6. The factored expression is .

Answer 1

The factored expression is given by:

`-12(x-(1)/(2))`

Explanation:

We are given a linear expression in terms of the variable x by:

`-12x+6`

Now, we factor out -12 from the given expression:

`=-12(x+(6)/(-12))\\\\=-12(x-(1)/(2))`

Hence, the expression on factoring is given by:

`-12(x-(1)/(2))`

Answer 2

−12x+6

-12 (x-6/12)

-12 (x-1/2)
