Answer: -3(x+4) ✅
Explanation:
Hii! Do you need to factor the expression -3x-12? No problem!
Note that both -3x and -12 have a -3 in common, so we factor it out. We divide -3x and -12 by -3. We obtain
x+4, because a negative number divided by another negative number gives us a positive result.
Next, we put parentheses around x+4.
(x+4)
Then, we put the -3 that we factored out a short while ago outside the parentheses.
-3(x+4)
Voila! There's our answer, cheers! (:
