Answer:

[tex]4(3x+4y)[/tex]

Hey there!

This would be the correct answer because the GCF of 12 and 16 is 4.

[tex]4(3x+4y)[/tex]

If you need to ckeck if this answer is corret then you will need to use the distributive property to distribute 4 to 3y and 4y.

The equasion would then look like this

[tex](4(3x)) (4(4y))[/tex]

Next you would need to solve the equasion to get the origional equasion

[tex]12x+16y[/tex]
