Factor the variable expression:

36x + 8y

1 answer

To factor the expression \(36x + 8y\), we can start by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of the coefficients of the two terms.

  1. The coefficients are 36 and 8.
  2. The GCF of 36 and 8 is 4.

Now, we can factor out the GCF from the expression:

\[ 36x + 8y = 4(9x + 2y) \]

Thus, the factored form of the expression is:

\[ \boxed{4(9x + 2y)} \]
