Answer:

  4(3 +x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor is 4, so any divisor of that can be factored out:

  12 +4x = 2(6 +2x) = 4(3 +x)

Answer:

4(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

So with the distrubutive property, you look at the numbers you have, and then take the greatest common factor between the two.

So lets think about it, what goes into both 12 and 4?

2 does, but is that the greatest common factor? No.

What about 4? That goes into 12 and 4. Is it the greatest common factor? Yup it is.

So, what do we get when we take 4 from 4x? We get 1x, or just x.

How about 12? Well, when we take 4 from 12, we get 3.

Now, lets take the common greatest factor, and our two new numbers and put them back into the expression.

Remember that the greatest common factor, the one you took from the other numbers, is what goes first:

4()

Remember to put the parethese there, or else you would only be multiplying the first number by 4, and not the second.

Next lets put the other numbers in. In most expressions, you should put the x number in first, and the normal number in second. So it should now be:

<u>4(x+3)</u>

This is your expression.

Hope this helps! ;)
