Question

what is the answer 4d+12e=use the greatest common factor and the distributive property to write equivalent expressions in factored form for the expession

Answer 1

The given expression is

`4d+12e`

The greatest common factor is 4 because both terms can be divide by 4 at the same time.

`(4d)/(4)+(12e)/(4)=d+3e`

Then, we factor out the greatest common factor to express it in factor form

`4(d+3e)`
