Answer: 6(v+2)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Explanation:
6v is the same as 6*v where * means multiply
12 is the same as 6*2
so we go from 6v + 12 to 6*v + 6*2
Now use the distribution property in reverse to go from
6*v + 6*2
to
6*(v+2)
In other words, 6v + 12 = 6*v+6*2 = 6*(v+2)
We can drop the * symbol because the 6 next to the parenthesis implies multiplication
Therefore, 6v + 12 = 6(v+2)
