Answer 1

To factor the expression \(-27h + 6\) using the greatest common factor (GCF):

1. First, identify the GCF of the coefficients \(-27\) and \(6\). The GCF is \(3\).

2. Factor \(3\) out of the expression: \[ -27h + 6 = 3(-9h + 2) \]

Thus, the correct factorization is:

3(−9h + 2)

So the right response is: 3 Left Parenthesis negative 9 h plus 2 Right Parenthesis.
