directions: type the correct answer in each box. use numerals instead of words. if necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s).
completely factor the following expressions.
4x - 12 = 1/4 x + 3/4= 0.3 x - 1.5 =

The correct answers are:
4(x-3)
0.25(x+3)
0.3(x-5).

Explanation:
The GCF, greatest common factor, of 4x and 12 is 4.
We factor this out, placing it outside parentheses.
We then divide both 4x and -12 by 4;
 and ,
giving us 4(1x-3) or 4(x-3).

The GCF of 0.25x+0.75 is 0.25.
We factor this out, placing it outside parentheses.
We then divide 0.25x and 0.75 by 0.25;
 and ,
giving us 0.25(x+3).

The GCF of 0.3x and 1.5 is 0.3.
We factor this out, placing it outside parentheses.
We then divide 0.3x and -1.5 by 0.3;
 and ,
giving us 0.3(1x-5).
