GCF(3, 24, 27) = 3
Steps:
Prime factorization of the numbers:
3 = 3
24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
27 = 3 × 3 × 3
GCF(3, 24, 27)
= 3
The answer is the 4th choice
One can solve this by first using order of operations, and then combining like terms.
First is parenthesis
9x + 2x(9) - 2(9x)
Now we do the multiplication
9x + 18x - 18x
Now we combine like terms
9x
