Factor the expression using the GCF.

Factor The Expression Using The GCF class=

Sagot :

Answer:

= 3 (3x + 5y)

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the GCF of 9 and 15 which would be 3. Then the GCF which is 3 is placed on the left of the parentheses. then you plug in the numbers. So 9x divided by 3 is 3x, and 15y divided by 3 is 5y.

[tex]\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and How to Solve:-}}}}[/tex]

First, let's find the GCF of this expression.

Expressions, like numbers, have GCF's, and we're asked to find it.

The factors of the first term, 9x, are:-

1, x, 3

The factors of the second term, 15y, are:-

1, y, 3, 5

Common factors:-

1, 3

Greatest common factor (GCF):-

3

So we divide both terms by 3:-

3(3x+5y)

Good luck.
