this is splitting the 12 with distributive property so probably 6(6 but you have to figure out whether its c or D k :}

Answer 4

what is the gcf of 12a + 8

Answer 5

what if I wrote both terms as the product of there factors

\[4 \times 3 \times a + 4 \times 2\]

take the common factor and write it outside the brackets

what's left is inside the brackets

Answer 6

I think its the first one because 4 x 3 = 12 and 4 x 2 = 8 so it would equal 12a + 8
