1: Expand 4 (x + 2y + 3)
2: Factor 6x + 3y
Please help!!! :)
1. distributive property (Google it)
4x + 8 y + 12
2. 2*3x + 3y = 3(2x+y)
Thank you so much!!! :)
You are welcome.
Sure! I'd be happy to help you with these math problems.
1. Expand 4(x + 2y + 3):
To expand this expression, you need to distribute the 4 to each term inside the parentheses. This means you multiply 4 by each term separately.
4(x + 2y + 3) = 4x + 4(2y) + 4(3)
Next, you simplify the multiplication:
= 4x + 8y + 12
Therefore, the expanded form of 4(x + 2y + 3) is 4x + 8y + 12.
2. Factor 6x + 3y:
To factor this expression, we look for the greatest common factor (GCF) that is common to both terms. In this case, the GCF is 3, which can be factored out.
3 is divisible by both 6 and 3, so we can factor it out:
6x + 3y = 3(2x + y)
Therefore, the factored form of 6x + 3y is 3(2x + y).
