Answer:
Nalani is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given - Nalani says the expression 9+7r cannot be factored using the GCF.
To find - Is she correct? Explain why or why not.
Proof -
GCF - Greater Common factor
Given that, the expression is - 9 + 7r
As
HCF(9, 7) = 1
So , we can not factor the expression.
i.e. there does not exist any number who is a multiple of 9 and 7 both.
So,
Nalani is correct.
Example -
Let the expression be 24 + 18x
HCF(24, 18) = 6
So,
24 + 18x = 6(4 + 3x)
