Question

The rectangle shown below has a total area of (27x+36) square feet . Factor (27+36)

Answer 1

The answer would be 9(3x+4)

Explanation:

You first find the gcf of 27 and 36. Then divide 27 and 36 by 9(since 9 is the gcf). Then you add parenthesis to the equation and add the x to the 3(since 27/9=3). The answer would be 9(3x+4), you can check this since if you use distributive property the result would be 27x+36.

Answer 2

1, 3, 9, 27 and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36 with a GCF of 9
