3 Left Parenthesis negative 9 h plus 2 Right Parenthesis
3(9h − 2)
3 Left Parenthesis 9 h minus 2 Right Parenthesis
3(−9h − 2)
3 Left Parenthesis negative 9 h minus 2 Right Parenthesis
3(9h + 2)
The correct answer is 3(-9h + 2)
To factor −27h + 6 using the GCF (Greatest Common Factor), we need to find the largest number that can divide both terms evenly. In this case, the GCF is 3.
So, we can factor out 3 from both terms:
−27h + 6 = 3(-9h + 2)
Therefore, the factored form of −27h + 6 using the GCF is 3(-9h + 2).
To factor −27h + 6 using the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), you need to find the largest number that divides both terms evenly. First, find the GCF of −27 and 6.
The GCF of 27 and 6 is 3 because 3 is the largest number that can evenly divide both 27 and 6.
Now, divide each term by the GCF, which is 3:
−27h ÷ 3 = −9h
6 ÷ 3 = 2
And finally, write the GCF outside the parentheses and the quotient inside the parentheses:
3(-9h + 2)
So, the factored form of −27h + 6 using the GCF is 3(-9h + 2).
