Question

Which expression shows a way to factor 36+27?




Questions

Answer 1

To factor the expression \(36 + 27\), we first look for a common factor in the two numbers.

Both 36 and 27 can be factored as follows:

- \(36 = 9 \times 4\)
- \(27 = 9 \times 3\)

Now, we can rewrite the given expression:

\[
36 + 27 = 9 \times 4 + 9 \times 3
\]

We can factor out the common factor of 9:

\[
36 + 27 = 9(4 + 3)
\]

So, the factored expression for \(36 + 27\) is:

\[
9(4 + 3)
\]

And simplifying \(4 + 3\), we find:

\[
36 + 27 = 9 \times 7
\]

Thus, the expression showing a way to factor \(36 + 27\) is \(9(4 + 3)\).
