Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of plastic cups = 24

No. of straws =20

We need to find the smallest number of each that could be bought so that you had the same amount of cups and straws.

Prime factrisation of 24 = 2×3×2×2

Prime factorisation of 20 = 2×5×2

LCM = 120

Hence, the smallest number of each type will be 120.

Completely Factor the expression -18 P - 9​
jekas [21]

can i have brainliest pls tyyy :)))

Answer:

-9(2p+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

-18p - 9

find the GCF (greatest common factor) for the expression.

-9

then, divide each term by the GCF

-18p / -9        -9 / -9

= 2p               = 1

next, put the two terms you get when dividing into the final form of the answer:

GCF on the outside and quotients on the inside

-9(2p+1)

hope this helped! ;)
