To fill in the blanks and factor the expressions based on your provided number bank, here are the answers for each expression:

  1. x² = () ()
    The quadratic expression x² can be factored as:
    x² = (x)(x)

    So, the answer is:
    x² = (x)(x)

  2. 3x = __9 (x² − 2x + 3)
    To factor 3x with respect to 9(x² - 2x + 3), we can identify the coefficient needed. Since 3x is equal to 3 multiplied by something, we need to find how to write 3 as a factor of 9. To do this, we can match coefficients. So:
    3x = 1 × 9 (x² - 2x + 3)

    The answer is:
    3x = 1 9 (x² - 2x + 3)

  3. 9x = () () + 5
    To express 9x in terms of a product along with 5, we can express it as:
    9x = 9 (x) + 5

    So, the answer is:
    9x = (9)(x) + 5

In summary:

  1. x² = (x)(x)
  2. 3x = 1 9 (x² − 2x + 3)
  3. 9x = (9)(x) + 5
