Sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking. Can you please provide more information or clarify your question?
Factor 9z + 18 using the GCF
To factor the expression 9z + 18 using the greatest common factor (GCF), we first need to find the GCF of the terms 9z and 18.
The factors of 9z are 1, 3, 9, and z.
The factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18.
The common factors of both 9z and 18 are 1 and 3. However, we want to find the GCF, which is the largest factor they share, which is 3.
Now, we can take out the GCF of 3 from the expression 9z + 18:
3(3z + 6)
Therefore, 9z + 18 can be factored as 3(3z + 6).
WRONG
I apologize for the incorrect response. Let's try to factor the expression correctly.
To factor 9z + 18 using the greatest common factor (GCF), we need to look for the largest common factor of the coefficients 9 and 18.
The factors of 9 are 1, 3, and 9.
The factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18.
The GCF of 9 and 18 is 9.
We can then factor out 9 from the expression:
9z + 18 = 9(z + 2)
Therefore, 9z + 18 can be factored as 9(z + 2).
Factor 16d − 12 using the GCF
To factor the expression 16d - 12 using the greatest common factor (GCF), we first need to find the GCF of the terms 16d and 12.
The factors of 16d are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, d, and d.
The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.
The common factors of both 16d and 12 are 1 and 4. However, we want to find the GCF, which is the largest factor they share, which is 4.
Now, we can take out the GCF of 4 from the expression 16d - 12:
4(4d - 3)
Therefore, 16d - 12 can be factored as 4(4d - 3).
