Question

what is another way to write the following expression?(8x+24)+(9y+81)A) 8(x+3)+9(y+9)B) 17(x+3)+(y+9)C) 8(x+16)+9(y+72)D) 17xy+105

Answer 1

The given expression is

`(8x+24)+(9y+81)`

The greatest common factor of the first expression is 8, and the greatest common factor is 9. Let's factor out it

`8(x+3)+9(y+9)`

Hence, the answer is A.
