Transcript text: Factor out the greatest common factor.
\[
2 t(u+5 v)+9(u+5 v)=
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
To factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the given expression, we first identify the common factor in both terms. Here, the common factor is \((u + 5v)\). We then factor out \((u + 5v)\) from the expression.
Step 1: Identify the Common Factor
We start with the expression:
\[
2t(u + 5v) + 9(u + 5v)
\]
We observe that \((u + 5v)\) is a common factor in both terms.
Step 2: Factor Out the Common Factor
We factor out \((u + 5v)\) from the expression:
\[
2t(u + 5v) + 9(u + 5v) = (2t + 9)(u + 5v)
\]
