Answer:
4a + 2b/3
Step-by-step explanation:
focus on 8b/12 first:
factor 8b/12 by 4 ---> 8b/12 = 4(2)b/4(3) ----> cancel 4 in the denominator and the nominator ---> 8b/12 = 4(2)b/4(3) = 2b/3
then, go back to 4a:
4a is in its simplest form, it can't be factor
therefore, plus 4a and 2b/3 = 4a + 2b/3
Option 4 would be the correct answer
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All the terms in this polynomial are divisible by 3. Factor 3 out of this polynomial:

Now, factor inside the parentheses by grouping:

We knew to split the +2x up into -1x and 3x because -1 and 3 multiply to get -3, which is the last value in the polynomial.

Therefore, the final factored polynomial is
.
