Question

Write an expression equivalent to the expressions 12x+16y using the gcf

pls help

Answer 1

`4(3x+4y)`

Explanation:

Hey there!

This would be the correct answer because the GCF of 12 and 16 is 4.

Now that we know that it is 4 we can divide the eqiasion by 4 and then you get

`4(3x+4y)`

If you need to ckeck if this answer is corret then you will need to use the distributive property to distribute 4 to 3y and 4y.

The equasion would then look like this

`(4(3x)) (4(4y))`

Next you would need to solve the equasion to get the origional equasion

`12x+16y`

Answer 2

Answer:4(3x+4y)

Step-by-step explanation: the gcf of 12x+16y is 4. we factor out 4 by dividing both terms by 4.
