Question

Apply the distributive property and the greatest common factor to write an equivalent expression.

Answer 1

Here, Your Original expression is 60x - 24.

Take 12 as common, which is GCD of 24 & 60, 

Therefore, It would be: 

60x - 24
= 12 * 5x - 12 * 2
= 12 (5x - 2)

In short, your Answer would be 12(5x - 2)

Hope this helps!
