Question

Multiply:3x+12/8m multiplied by m^2/2x+8

Answer 1

what have you tried?

Answer 2

Man I have no idea how to do this :/

Answer 3

try factoring 3x + 12 first

Answer 4

That would be 4 right? between the two of them?

Answer 5

you divided 12 by 3 i think...that's a close thought

Answer 6

3x + 12 factors out into 3(x+4) actually

Answer 7

OHHH ok (I completly forgot how to do that)

Answer 8

so what's the factored form of 2x + 8?

Answer 9

2(x+2) ?

Answer 10

close..if you distribute 2 into x+2 you get 2x + 4 right? means it's not yet right...you're still lacking some number
