Factor 24k + 36q - 12 to identify the equivalent expressions. choose 2 answers
a. 12(2k + 3q - 1)
b. 3(8k + 12q - 4)
c. 6(3k + 6q - 12)
d 12(2k + 3q)

Option A and Option B

The equivalent expressions for 24k + 36q - 12 are 12(2k + 3q - 1) and 3(8k + 12q - 4)

Solution:

Given that we have to factor 24k + 36q - 12

To factor a number or expression containing variables means to break it up into smaller numbers or expressions that can be multiplied together to get the original number or expression

Given expression is:

24k + 36q - 12

So for numbers 24 , 36 and 12: the factors that divides all these numbers 24, 36 and 12 completely are 12 and 3 and also 2

In the above expression we take 12 common term

12(2k + 3q - 1)

So option A is correct

We can also take out 3 as common term

3(8k + 12q - 4)

So option B is also correct

Thus the equivalent expressions are: 12(2k + 3q - 1) and 3(8k + 12q - 4)
