To factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) of 48y and 36z, we first need to find the largest number that divides both 48 and 36. The GCF of 48 and 36 is 12.
Next, we need to look at the variables. Both terms have a y and a z, so we can factor out y and z as well.
Putting it all together, the factored form of 48y + 36z is 12(4y + 3z).
Therefore, the correct option is:
O 12(4y + 3z)
Factor 48y + 36z using the GCF. (1 point)
O 6(8y + 6z)
O 12(4y + 3z)
O 4(12y + 9z)
O 16(3u + 2z)
