Find the equivalent expression

12a + 6b

a. 6 (2a + b)

b. 6 (6a + b}

c. 2 (6a + 4b)

d. 2 (10b + 4b)

6 (2a+b)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to factorise the given question

Which means we will have to determine what is common to both numbers

12a+6b

We can deduce that 6 is common to both

So let's factorise

6 (2a+b)

Therefore the final answer is 6 (2a+b)

A because 6 (2a) is 12a and 6 (b) is 6b, your just multiplying the number outside the parentheses to the ones inside.
