Answer:

9[4x - 1]

Explanation:

Since both numbers are divisible by nine, which is the Greatest Common Factor [GCF], you factor that out:


36x - 9 \\ \\ 9(4x - 1)

Answer:

9(4x - 1)

Explanation:

The given linear expression is:

36x - 9

Since, 36 can be written as 9 times 4, we can rewrite the above expression as:

9(4x) - 9

Taking 9 as common, the expression changes to:

9 (4x - 1)

This linear expression can no linger be factorized further.

So,

36x - 9 = 9(4x - 1)
