Which factorization is equivalent to this expression? 81X-36
A 9 (9x-4)
B 9x-4
C -9(9x-4)
D 9(9x-8)
The correct factorization that is equivalent to the expression 81x-36 is C) -9(9x-4).
To determine the factorization equivalent to the expression 81X - 36, we need to find the common factor of both terms and factor it out.
In this case, both 81 and 36 are multiples of 9.
Therefore, the correct factorization equivalent to the expression is:
C) -9(9X - 4)
To find the factorization equivalent to the expression 81X - 36, we can look for a common factor between the two terms. In this case, the common factor is 9.
We can rewrite the expression as follows:
81X - 36 = 9(9X) - 9(4)
Now, we can factor out the common factor of 9:
81X - 36 = 9(9X - 4)
Thus, the correct factorization equivalent to the expression 81X - 36 is option A: 9(9X - 4).
