Answer:

Explanation:

To factor this, we can factor both variables and then get a multiplier outside the parentheses and the new variables inside. (Sorry if it’s confusing)

18h = 2*3*3*h

30k = 2*3*5*k

Both have 2*3, which is 6. This will be the multiplier. To get the new variables, divide the old variables by 6.

18h/6 = 3h

30k/6 = 5k

The signs should not change.

6(3h+5k)

Hope this helps!

Answer:

6(3h+5k)

Explanation:

18h+30k

Factors of 18:

1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

Factors of 30:

1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30

GCF of 18 and 30: 6

18h+30k = 6(3h+5k)

Check your answer:

6(3h+5k)

6(3h) + 6(5k)

18h + 30k

Hope this helps!
