Factor the expression 9x + 15.


1. Find the GCF for all of the terms in the expression. 1. GCF(9x, 15) = 3


2. Divide by the GCF. 2. 

9x

3

= 3x,

15

3

= 5


3. Write the expression as a product. 3. 


4. Check that the expressions are equivalent with the distributive property.

Answer :

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 [tex]\frac{9x}{3} = 3x[/tex] and divide 15 by 3 and we will get [tex]\frac{15}{3} = 5[/tex].

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)
