Factor 54s–9.

Write your answer as a product with a whole number greater than 1.

1 answer

To factor the expression \( 54s - 9 \), we first look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms.

  1. The coefficients are 54 and -9. The GCF of 54 and 9 is 9.
  2. Factor out the GCF:

\[ 54s - 9 = 9(6s - 1) \]

Thus, the expression \( 54s - 9 \) factored as a product with a whole number greater than 1 is:

\[ 9(6s - 1) \]
