The equation is shown. What FACTOR is missing from the equation? 30 + 12 = _(5 + 2)

8
2
4
6

6 is the missing factor.

30 plus 12 is 42. If we do 6 times 5 that is 30. Then 6 times 2 is 12. If we add 30 and 12 we get 42, making the expression true.

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
