To find the least common multiple (LCM) of 6x^2 and 12x, we first need to break down each term into its prime factors.
6x^2 can be broken down into 2 * 3 * x * x, while 12x can be broken down into 2 * 2 * 3 * x.
The LCM is the product of all the unique prime factors with the highest power they appear in any of the numbers, which in this case is 2 * 2 * 3 * x * x.
Therefore, the LCM of 6x^2 and 12x is 12x^2.

6X2 + 12X
= 6X(X + 2)

If you mean: 4x squared+12x+9 then it is (2x+3)(2x+3)
(2x - 3)(2x - 3)
x - 2
The GCF is 4x.
4x2 - 12x + 9 = 4x2 - 6x - 6x + 9 = 2x(2x - 3) - 3(2x - 3) = (2x - 3)(2x - 3) or (2x - 3)2
