To factor the expression completely, we can start by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of the coefficients: 45, -18, and 36. The GCF of 45, -18, and 36 is 9.
Now, let's factor out the GCF of 9 from each term:
45x/9 - 18y/9 + 36/9
This simplifies to:
5x - 2y + 4
Therefore, the expression 45x - 18y + 36 can be completely factored as 5x - 2y + 4.
factor this expression completley
45x-18y+36
