Q. Factor 18p−36 to identify the equivalent expressions.Choose 2 answers:(A) 3(9p−12)(B) 9(2p−4p)(C) 2(9p−18)(D) 18(p−2)
Factor GCF: We need to factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the expression 18p−36. The GCF of 18p and 36 is 18. Factor out the GCF from the expression. 18p−36=18(p−2)
Check Answer Choices A-D: Now let's check each answer choice to see if it is equivalent to 18(p−2). A) 3(9p−12)=27p−36, which is not equivalent to 18p−36.
Verify Equivalent Expressions: B) 9(2p−4p)=9(−2p), which simplifies to −18p, and this is not equivalent to 18p−36.
Verify Equivalent Expressions: B) 9(2p−4p)=9(−2p), which simplifies to −18p, and this is not equivalent to 18p−36.C) 2(9p−18)=18p−36, which is equivalent to 18p−36.
