Question

Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor. 18d+12 =18d+12=18, d, plus, 12, equals? (plz help quickly)

Answer 1

Answer is 6(3 d+2)

Explanation:

It is given the expression as 18d+12

Let's find common factor by prime factoring the terms.

18 d =2*3*3*d

12= 2*2*3

Common factors for both terms are 2, 3.

So, G C F = 2*3=6

Take out 6 from both terms to factor further.

We do get 6(3 d+2)
