When we factorise an expression, we are looking for simple factors that multiply to get the original expression. Usually it is very natural to factorise something like a quadratic in x. For example:
x^2 + 3x + 2 = (x+1)(x+2)
But there are other situations where factorisation can be applied. Take this quadratic:
x^2 - 9x = x(x-9)
This second example is closer to the question in hand. Just like x was a common factor to both x^2 and -9x, we are looking for a common factor to both 6b and 24bc. The common factor is 6b.
Hence 6b + 24bc = 6b(1 + 4c).
I hope this helps you :)

Answer:
15 yd = 45 ft because :
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to multiply the length by 3.
1 yd = 3 ft.
15 x 3 = 45.

Let the height of the kiwi be x, then the height of the ostrich is 20 + 4x.
20 + 4x = 108
4x = 108 - 20 = 88
x = 88/4 = 22
The height of the kiwi is 22 inches.
$2.99 + 7% of $2.99 =
= $2.99 + 7% * $2.99
= $2.99 + 0.07 * $2.99
= $2.99 + $0.21
= $3.20
