Factor 4x+12

Problem

4*x+12

Solution

1. Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms 4*x and 12

2. Determine that the GCF is 4 since 4 divides evenly into both 4 and 12

3. Factor out the GCF by dividing each term by 4 and placing the result inside parentheses.

4. Simplify the expression by writing the GCF outside the parentheses: 4(x + 3)$.

Final Answer

4*x+12=4*(x+3)
