Q. Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor.9+12n=□
Identify GCF of terms: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms 9 and 12n. The factors of 9 are 1, 3, and 9. The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 12n0, 12n1, and 12. Since 12n3 is a variable, we consider only the numerical coefficients. 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 3(3)+3(4n), which simplifies to 3(3+4n).
