Answer:
The factor form of given expression is 3(x+8) so the required number is 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is
[tex]3x+24[/tex]
Write the factors of each term.
[tex]3x+24=3\times x+3\times 8[/tex]
In both terms, 3 is a common factor.
Take out the common factor 3.
[tex]3x+24=3(x+8)[/tex]
The factor form of given expression is 3(x+8). The factor (x+8) is given, therefore the required number is 3.
