Question

Will give BRAINLIEST!!!! Answer fast!!! Jude factored 27x^2 as (20x)(7x). Yasmin factored 27x^2 as (9)(3x^2). Which of them factored 27x^2 correctly?
Please answer fast and it has to be the right answer for more points and a BRAINLIEST!!!!!! :D

Answer 1

Hey there :)

27x² is what we are trying to factorise

When factorising, we do not add but we multiply

Jude factored : ( 20x )( 7x ) → This is wrong, since 20x × 7x = 140x²
Yasmin factored : ( 9 )( 3x² ) → This is right indeed as 9 × 3x² = 27x²

Yasmin is right
