48j+36 is equivalent, or equal, to ___(4j+___)
So, to find out our answer, we would look at 48j and 4j, and see what number times 4 equals 48. Our number would be 12, because 12 × 4 = 48, which works with our equation.
So now we have: 48j+36 = 12(4j+__)
Now, we look at 36 and 12. What times 12 equals 36?? 3
So, our answer would be:
48j+36 = 12 (4j+3)
Simplify the answer to check our work.
48j+36 = 48j+36
So, our answer is 12 (4j+3)
