Question

factor the expression 4s - 12t + 6. use the gcf as the common factor.
what is the greatest common factor of 4s, 12t, and 6?
gcf: 2
use the gcf to factor the expression.
4s - 12t + 6 = ( ? s - ? t + ? )

Explanation:

Step1: Identify GCF

The GCF of 4s, 12t, and 6 is 2.

Step2: Divide each term by GCF

$4s\div2 = 2s$, $12t\div2=6t$, $6\div2 = 3$.

Answer:

$2(2s - 6t+3)$
