Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4x + 24 should be written as (3/4)x + 24, so that it is clear that the coefficient of x is 3/4.
(3/4)x + 24 can be rewritten by factoring the 24: (3/4)x + (3)(8).
We can now factor out the 3 from both terms: 3[x/4 + 8]
alternatively, we could write
12[x/4 + 8] 3x + 24 3(x + 8)
---------------- = -------------- = ------------
4 4 4
... which is in factored form as required.
