Answer 2

Answer:

6(8+3x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$48+18x$

We need to write an equivalent expression for the given expression.

Factor form of 48 and 18x are

$48=2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3$

$18x=2\times 3\times 3\times x$

The greatest common factor of 48 and 18x is

$GCF(48,18x)=2\times 3=6$

Factor out the GCF in given expression.

$48+18x=6(8+3x)$

Therefore, the expression 6(8+3x) is an equivalent expression for the given expression.
