Factor: 6v + 12
i am not sure how to do this could someone either explain how to do this or give me the 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)
