Q. Factor 72y+108z to identify the equivalent expressions.Choose 2 answers:A 9(7y+12z)B 36(2y+3z)c 6(18y+12z)D 12(6y+9z)
Identify GCF of coefficients: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the coefficients 72 and 108.Calculation: GCF of 72 and 108 is 36.
Factor out GCF from expression: Factor out the GCF from the expression.Calculation: 36(2y+3z)
Check for further factoring: Check if the factored expression can be further factored.Calculation: 2y+3z cannot be factored further as there is no common factor.
Compare with given options: Compare the factored expression with the given options.Calculation: The factored expression 36(2y+3z) matches option B.
Verify equivalence with other options: Verify if any other options are equivalent to the factored expression.Calculation: None of the other options, A, C, or D, are equivalent to 36(2y+3z) when simplified.
