Factoring / distributive property worksheet factor the expressions: 1.) 18 + 27y 2.) 40 + 72b 3.) 40 + 28u 4.) 60 + 24g 5.) 12b + 15 6.) 44p + 8

1.) 18 + 27y =

Rewrite 18 as 9 * 2

Rewrite 27 as 9 * 3

9 * 3y + 9 * 2

Factor out common term 9

9( 3y + 2)  > Answer

2.) 40 + 72b

Rewrite 40 as 8 * 5

Rewrite 72 as 8 * 9

8 * 9b + 8 * 5

Factor out common term 8

8(9b + 5) > Answer

3.) 40 + 28u

Rewrite 40 as 4 * 10

Rewrite 28 as 4 * 7

4 * 7u + 4 * 10

Factor out common term 4

4(7u + 10) > Answer

4.) 60 + 24g

Rewrite 60 as 12 * 5

Rewrite 24 as 12 * 2

12 * 2g + 12 * 5

Factor out common term 12

12(2g + 5) > Answer

5.) 12b + 15

Rewrite 12 as 3 * 4

Rewrite 15 as 3 * 5

3 * 4b + 3 * 5

Factor out common term 3

3(4b + 5)> Answer

6.) 44p + 8

Rewrite 44 as 4  * 11

Rewrite 8  as  4 * 2

4 * 11p + 4 * 2

Factor out common term 4

4(11p + 2) > Answer

is means division by fractions

step-by-step explanation:

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
