Know the Answer?

Xander Bailey · Answer 1

Ab+ac=a (b+c)

where a is the greatest common factor

find gcf of each

factor each

18=2*3*3

12=2*2*3

GCF=2*3=6

so

18+12=6 (3) + 6 (2) = 6 (3+2)

first one is the answer

Whispy · Answer 2

Your answer would be a because 6 times 3 is 18 and 6 times 2 is 12 all your doing is distributing the 6 into 3 and 2 meaning multiplying
