In order to find out what 36x + 9 is equivalent to,, we must factor out 9 from the expression. Once we do this you will find that this expression is equivalent to 9(4x + 1),, or option E.
Next we will look at the expression 9(4x -1). In order for us to find out the equivalent to this expression,, we must first multiply each term in the parenthesis by 9.
9 × 4x - 9
Now calculate the product
36x - 9
This means that the equivalent for this expression is 36x - 9,, or option A.
Lastly,, we will look at the final expression given which is 4(9x + 2). The first step for finding the equivalent of this expression is to multiply the numbers in the first parenthesis together.
(36x) + (4 × 2)
Now multiply the numbers in the second parenthesis together.
(36x) + 8
Remove the parenthesis
36x + 8
Now factor out 4 from the expression to get your final answer.
4(9x + 2)
This means that the last expression is equivalent to 4(9x + 2),, or option C.

The idea of grouping is to get the terms in groups that allow you to factor out from each group something that becomes a factor in itself, leaving two factors behind that are alike. Like this: rearrange those terms so they are in this order:
(-70y^2 - 63xy) + (90x^3 + 100yx^2). Now out of the first set we are going to factor out a -7y, and out of the second set we are going to factor out a 10x^2. When we do this, this is what we get: -7y(10y + 9x) + 10x^2(9x + 10y). As you can see, what's inside both sets of parenthesis is the same, just in a different order. We can factor that out now, leaving (9x + 10y)(10x^2 - 7y). And that is factored by grouping.
the answer is 34.83 I believe
