The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is very important when factoring. Later on, you will forget to pull out a GCF and the answer will be wrong. Always look for a GCF before doing anything.
Let's try factoring these:
a.) 
The greatest common factor of this expression is 9, because it is the maximum number that both can go into. Let's solve.

This is the simplest this expression can get. This would be your final answer. Let's try the other one.
b.) 
The GCF of this one is 12. Let's simplify it.

This is also the simplest you can get it. You can do nothing further. So, your final answers are:
a.) 
b.) 
Answer:
3/8 as a percent equals 37.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A) 4x^2+20x+25=(2x)^2+2*(2x)*5+5^2=(2x+5)^2
Area=(side)^2, side=sqrt(area)=sqrt((2x+5)^2)=2x+5
B) 4x^2-9y^2=(2x-3y)(2x+3y), these are the dimensions of the rectangle
a. The experimental unit:
The experimental units would be the lawyers that participate in this experiment. The experimental units are the subjects upon which the experiment is performed.
b. The response variable:
The response variable would be income. This is the variable that measures the response or outcome of the study.
c. The factors:
The factors are the variables whose levels are manipulated by the researcher. In this case, these would be the Mach score, classification and gender.
d. The levels of each factor:
The levels would include the levels of the Mach score (high, moderate, low) and the levels of gender (male, female).
e. The treatments:
The treatments are all the possible combinations of one level of each factor. Therefore, these are: High and male, high and female, moderate and men, moderate and female, low and male, low and female.
Multiply 1/8 by 560
answer: 70
