Answer 1

To factor the expression \( 6x + 4 \), we look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms.

The GCF of \( 6x \) and \( 4 \) is \( 2 \).

Now, we can factor \( 2 \) out of the expression:

\[
6x + 4 = 2(3x + 2)
\]

So, the correct factored form is:

\[
2(3x + 2)
\]

Thus, the response is:

**2(3x + 2)**.
