(b) Factor the given expression using the difference of squares

(a)

(b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

To factorise: the given expression using (a) the GCF monomial and (b) the difference of squares

Solution:

(a)

GCF of terms is

(b)

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5

step-by-step explanation:

d is the correct answer

step-by-step explanation:

x= 8 because 3x = 3 * 8, and 3*8 = 24
