Answer: Choice B
Explanation:
Use the distributive property to pull out the -3
When going in reverse like this, we divide each term by -3
-3x/(-3) = x
9/(-3) = -3
So -3x+9 = -3(x-3)
We can verify this by multiplying the -3 outside with each term inside
-3 times x = -3x
-3 times -3 = 9
This shows how -3(x-3) turns into -3x+9 again.
