Fill in the missing values:
To solve this problem, we'll rewrite the expression , focusing on the right-hand side, .
Step 1: Factor the right-hand side:
Both terms on the right-hand side, and , have a common factor. The greatest common factor (GCF) of and is . Therefore, we can factor out :
.
Step 2: Match the factored form with the left-hand side expression:
The equation now resembles . To make the left-hand side equivalent to this expression, we equate it to the factorization result:
implies .
Step 3: Divide both sides by :
.
Therefore, the missing values in the expression are and .
Comparing this with the answer choices, the correct choice that aligns with these values is: .
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
Break down the expression into basic terms:
\( 4x^2 + 6x \)
Look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of both terms. Since 24 = 12 × 2 and 36 = 12 × 3, the GCF is 12.
Because the left side is , we need to isolate the parentheses by dividing both sides by 12ab to find what goes inside.
Addition is commutative, so technically yes! But the answer choices show a specific order: .
Treat them like numbers! Focus on the coefficients (24 and 36) first, then work with the variable parts separately.
Distribute your factored form back out: . If it matches the original expression, you're right!
