Hey there! It looks like you have another factoring question! Using our definition of the distributive property: a(b+c) = ab+ac We need to factor our or greatest common multiple, which here is 9. 9 times 2x = 18x and 9 times y = 9y We have: 9(2x + y) Once again, using the distributive property, multiply it out and you'll get 18x and 9y. Hope this helps!
