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)
