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).
