First find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 12 and 36, which is 12.
Factor 12 out of each term:
12 + 36 = 12(1) + 12(3) = 12(1 + 3).
Use the distributive property:
12(1 + 3) = 12(4) = 48.
Factor 12 out of each term:
12 + 36 = 12(1) + 12(3) = 12(1 + 3).
Use the distributive property:
12(1 + 3) = 12(4) = 48.
