Answer:
(a+2b)(3x+2y)
Step-by-step explanation:
3ax+2ay+6bx+4by = a(3x+2y)+2b(3x+2y) = (a+2b)(3x+2y)
Hmmm...
We have to divide 12 by 8, since we need to see how 8 students will share 12 slices.
12/8=1 and 1/2
So, each student can have a slice and a half, but since we aren't allowed to cut the slices...
We can let each student have one slice, with 4 left over, so...
Every student can have one slice, and then half can have a second slice :)!
I'm not sure if that is what was meant by the question, but that was all I could think of.
I hope I helped! :)
