4d + 12 = 4(d + 3)
Basically, you just need to determine what 4d and 12 have in common. In this case, they both divide evenly by 4. Therefore 4 (d + 3) = 4d + 12 according to the distributive property.
Any number that is divisible by 6 is already divisible by 2, but is not necessarily divisible by 12.
Counterexamples include: 6, 18, 30, 42, 54, and so on. You can find more by multiplying 6 by any odd number. However, multiplying 6 by an even number provides another "2" that would make it divisible by 12.
