✔ 3(3x + 5)

Is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

(9x + 15) = 3(3x + 5)

This is basically the distributive property of multiplication.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to factorize the expression (9x + 15).

Now, 3 is the GCF of 9x and 15.

So, divide 9x by 3 and we will get $\frac{9x}{3} = 3x$ and divide 15 by 3 and we will get $\frac{15}{3} = 5$.

Now, sum the results as (3x + 5).

Then express the factorized term as the product of (3x + 5) and 3

i.e. (9x + 15) = 3(3x + 5)

So, this is basically the distributive property of multiplication. (Answer)
