Question

What is the factored form of 8x2 + 12x?

Answer 1

Answer: 4x(2x+3).

Step-by-step explanation: To factor a number means to break it up into numbers that can be multiplied together to get the original number. In the given problem, we can factorize the expression by taking out a common factor, in this case 4x:

$8x^{2} +12x=$

$4x(2x+3)$

as we can see, if we multiply 4x*(2x+3) we obtain the original expression.

Answer 2

Answer:

$4x(2x + 3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the expression

$8x^2 + 12x$

and we must factor it

Note that the expression has no independent term

Then we can factor the expression by taking the variable 4x as a common factor

$8x^2 + 12x$

$4x(2x + 3)$

Finally the factored form of $8x^2 + 12x$ is $4x(2x + 3)$
