Divide 3 and 6 by the common factor of 3 to rewrite this equation.

Question

3 (12f+8)
6
=
−4f+8

Answer 1

To divide the expression \(3(12f + 8)\) by the common factor of 3, we can first rewrite the equation:

\[ \frac{3(12f + 8)}{6} = -4f + 8 \]

Now, we can simplify the left side. Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 3:

\[ \frac{3(12f + 8)}{6} = \frac{(12f + 8)}{2} \]

Thus, the equation becomes:

\[ \frac{12f + 8}{2} = -4f + 8 \]

Now, simplifying the left side further:

\[ 6f + 4 = -4f + 8 \]

So, rewriting the equation by dividing the original expression and simplifying yields:

\[ 6f + 4 = -4f + 8 \]
