Answer:

6(3+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property:

ab + ac = a(b+c)

where a = greatest common factor (GCF)

GCF of each factor

18 = 2×3×3

12 = 2×2×3

GCF of 18 and 12 = 2×3

= 6

Therefore,

18 + 12 = 6(3) + 6(2)

= 6(3+2)

Where,

6 = a

3 = b

2 = c

ab + ac = a(b+c)

Which binomial is a factor of 9x^2+24xy+16y^2

gregori [183]

Answer: (3x + 4y)(3x + 4y)

Step-by-step explanation: So you are supposed to "unfoil". So you would find two numbers multiplied together to make 9x^2 which would be 3x. Then you would find two numbers that can be multiplied together to get 16y^2 which would be 4y. To check your work, you do 3x times 3x. Then 4y times 4y. Then 4y times 3x plus 3x times 4y. You get 9x^2 + 24xy plus 16y^2.
