Question

Write an expression equivalent to the expressions 12x+16y using the gcfpls help

Answer 1

Answer:4(3x+4y)

Step-by-step explanation: the gcf of 12x+16y is 4. we factor out 4 by dividing both terms by 4.

Answer 2

Answer:

$4(3x+4y)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

This would be the correct answer because the GCF of 12 and 16 is 4.

Now that we know that it is 4 we can divide the eqiasion by 4 and  then you get

$4(3x+4y)$

If you need to ckeck if this answer is corret then you will need to use the distributive property to distribute 4 to 3y and 4y.

The equasion would then look like this

$(4(3x)) (4(4y))$

Next you would need to solve the equasion to get the origional equasion

$12x+16y$
