Simplify the expression:

Factor 6c+27
Write your answer as a product with a whole number greater than 1.

1 answer

To simplify the expression \(6c + 27\), we start by factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms.

  1. Identify the coefficients: The GCF of 6 and 27 is 3.
  2. Factor out 3 from the expression:

\[ 6c + 27 = 3(2c + 9) \]

Thus, the simplified expression is:

\[ 3(2c + 9) \]

So the answer as a product with a whole number greater than 1 is:

\[ 3(2c + 9) \]
