Factor the expression completely.

Question

36, minus, 27, x
36−27x

Answer 1

To factor the expression \( 36 - 27x \), we can first look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of the two terms, which are \( 36 \) and \( -27x \).

1. The GCF of \( 36 \) and \( 27 \) is \( 9 \).
2. We can factor out \( 9 \):

\[ 36 - 27x = 9(4 - 3x) \]

So, the expression factored completely is:

\[ \boxed{9(4 - 3x)} \]
