1.) 4(x+3)
Find the GCF, Greatest Common Factor, of 4x and 12.
4x=2*2*x
12=3*2*2
The greatest common factor is 4. Put this outside of the parentheses. (You would multiply the 2*2)
Then, put the rest of the factors as a sum. (Only the factors on the same line.)
Solution: 4(x+3)
To check, distribute to see if it works.
4x+12
2.) 2(4r+7)
Find the GCF of 8r and 14
8r=2*2*2*r
14= -1*7*2
The greatest common factor is 2. (There is only 1 two, so you would not multiply them.)
Then, put the rest of the factors as a sum. (Only the factors on the same line.)
Multiply the 2*2*r as one addend and the -1*7 as the other.
Solution: 2(4r-7)
To check, distribute to see if it works.
8r-14
Do you get it now?
3.) 5(x+7)
4.) 7(2x+1)
5.) Cannot be factored.
32x-15
Find the GCF of 32x and -15
32x: 2*2*2*2*2*x
-15: -1*5*3
Because there are no similar factors other than 1, it cannot be factored.
6.) 8(4x+3)
7.) 3(2x-3)
8.) 24(1x+2)
9.) 9(-2x+8)
10.) Cannot be factored
11.) 8(1x+3)
12.) 50(1x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x = 6
==============================================
Explanation:
The medians of a triangle meet up at the centroid in such a way that they cut each other at a ratio of 2:1, meaning that one part of the median is twice as long as the other. In this case, MO is two times longer than OP, so,
OP = 2*MO
and
MP = MO + OP
MP = MO + 2*MO .... replace OP with 2*MO
MP = 3*MO
9x-24 = 3*(x+4) ... plug in the given expressions
9x-24 = 3x+12
9x-3x = 12+24
6x = 36
x = 36/6
x = 6
For this case we have:
way 1:
Common factor 3 in the expression:
Way 2:
Write the number 12 as the sum of 4 times 3:
Then, for associative property:
