Answer:
6(x-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
the common number for 6 and 18 is 6 so if you extract that from the expression then it turns to 6(x-3) which cannot be factored further
So 8x3 = 24
24 + 12x
the common factor is 12
so you divide everything by 12
24 ÷ 12 = 2
12x ÷ 12 = x
final answer: 12 (2+x)
M - 12 = -3
You would be able to find what m is by finding a number that can subtract 12 and get -3.
Hope this helps and have a nice day!!!
Its D. x = 2, y = -8
6*2 + (-8) = 12 - 8 = 4
