Question

Factor the common factor out of 8x3 12x.

a. 4x(2x2 3)
b. x(x2 3)
c. 4x2(2x3 3)
d. 4x(6x2 3)

Answer 1

the answer is 4x(2x^2 + 3)

Answer 2

A.
`4x(2x^2+3)`.

Explanation:

We have been given an expression
`8x^3+12x`. We are asked to factor our given expression.

We can see that both terms of our given expression share a common factor that is 4x.

Upon factoring out 4x from our given expression, we will get:

`4x(2x^2+3)`

Therefore, the factored form of our given expression would be
`4x(2x^2+3)` and option A is he correct choice.
