Question

Use the distributive property to factor out y. 5y-3y+12

Answer 1

2(y + 6) hope this helps

Explanation:

Answer 2

5y - 3y + 12

Because there is not a common factor between the three terms in it's current state, we must simplify.

2y + 12

Now, we can simplify using the distributive property.

Factor 2.

2(y + 6) is the factored form of the original expression.
