Full solution

Q. Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor.\newline24a18b= 24 a-18 b=
  1. Identify GCF: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerical coefficients 2424 and 1818. The factors of 2424 are 11, 22, 33, 44, 66, 88, 1212, 2424. The factors of 1818 are 11, 22, 33, 66, 181866, 1818. The greatest common factor of 2424 and 1818 is 66.
  2. Find Factors: Factor out the GCF from each term in the expression 24a18b24a - 18b.\newlineUsing the distributive property, factor out 66:\newline6(4a)6(3b)=6(4a3b)6(4a) - 6(3b) = 6(4a - 3b).
  3. Factor Out GCF: Check the factored expression to ensure that it is equivalent to the original expression.\newline6(4a)6(3b)=24a18b6(4a) - 6(3b) = 24a - 18b.\newlineThe factored expression is equivalent to the original expression.
