Q. Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor.24+18t=
Identify GCF of 24 and 18: Let's identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of 24 and 18.To find the GCF, we list the factors of each number:Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 180, 181, 24Factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 188, 18The common factors are 1, 2, 3, and 6. The greatest of these is 6.
Apply distributive property: Now, we apply the distributive property to factor out the GCF from the expression 24+18t.We divide each term by the GCF, which is 6:24÷6=418t÷6=3t
Write factored expression: After dividing each term by the GCF, we write the factored expression:6(4+3t)This is the expression 24+18t with the GCF of 6 factored out.
