Answer:

  1. 5(9c +2d)
  2. -6(x -9)
  3. 5(6a +7b)

Explanation:

The idea here is to put the greatest common factor outside parentheses using the distributive property. The terms have different variables, so the factor of interest will only be a number. Your knowledge of multiplication tables helps with this.

1. = 5(9c +2d)

2. = -6(x -9) . . . . or 6(-x +9)

3. = 5(6a +7b)
