Q. Factor 24m12p+72 24 m-12 p+72 to identify the equivalent expressions.\newlineChoose 22 answers:\newlineA 6(4m+2p+12) 6(4 m+2 p+12) \newlineB 2(12m6p+36) 2(12 m-6 p+36) \newlinec 12(2mp+6) 12(2 m-p+6) \newlineD 24(m12p+3) 24(m-12 p+3)
  1. Identify GCF of terms: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms 24m24m, 12p-12p, and 7272.\newlineThe GCF of 2424, 12-12, and 7272 is 1212.
  2. Factor out GCF from each term: Factor out the GCF from each term.12(2m)12(p)+12(6)=12(2mp+6)12(2m) - 12(p) + 12(6) = 12(2m - p + 6)
  3. Check answer choices: Check each answer choice to see if it matches the factored expression from Step 22.\newlineA) 6(4m+2p+12)6(4m + 2p + 12) does not match because when distributed, it gives 24m+12p+7224m + 12p + 72, which has a different sign for the pp term.\newlineB) 2(12m6p+36)2(12m - 6p + 36) does not match because when distributed, it gives 24m12p+7224m - 12p + 72, which is the original expression but not factored by the GCF.\newlineC) 12(2mp+6)12(2m - p + 6) matches the factored expression from Step 22.\newlineD) 24(m12p+3)24(m - 12p + 3) does not match because when distributed, it gives 24m288p+7224m - 288p + 72, which is not the original expression.
