Question

14)

Use the GCF and rewrite: (22 + 12x)
A)
2(11 + 6x)
C) 5(4 +2x)
D) 46 + 2x)
B)
615 + 2x)
11

Answer 1

A = 2(11 + 6x)

Explanation:

GCF = Greatest Common Factor (remember example: 12 and 16 gcf = 4 because it is the largest number they have together. 12 = 4 * 3 and 16 = 4*4)

22 and 12's GCF is 2:

22 = 2*11

12 = 2*6

Using the distributive property, we can find out that A is the right answer.

However, let us check the other options:

B does not make sense because 6*5 is 30. 6 only applies to 12

C is not correct because it does not apply to 22 or 12

And D only applies to 12 as well because 4*3 = 12 but 4*6 is 24

A should be the answer so I hope this helps!
