Question

How do u factorise 12x-8

Answer 1

Answer:

The factor form of given expression 12x-8 is 4(3x-2).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$12x-8$

To factories the above expression, we need to find the GCF of all the terms and then take it common.

The factor form of each term are

$12x=2\times 2\times 3\times x$

$8=2\times 2\times 2$

The common factors are 2 and 2. So, the GCF of both terms is

$GCF=2\times 2$

$12x-8=4\times 3x-4\times 2$

By taking out GCF , we get

$12x-8=4(3x-2)$

Therefore the factor form of given expression 12x-8 is 4(3x-2).

Answer 2

12x - 8...so what is a highest common factor...it is 4...so we factor out 4
4(3x - 2)
