Q. Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor.9+12n=
Identify GCF Factors: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of 9 and 12n. To find the GCF, we list the factors of each number: Factors of 9: 1, 3, 9 Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 12n0, 12n1, 12 Since 12n is a multiple of 12, its factors will include the factors of 12. The greatest common factor of 9 and 12 is 3.
Apply Distributive Property: Apply the distributive property to factor out the GCF from the expression 9+12n. We can write the expression as a product of the GCF and the remaining terms: 9+12n=3(3)+3(4n)
Combine Terms: Combine the terms inside the parentheses.3(3)+3(4n)=3(3+4n)
