What is the greatest common factor of 12a and 9a2? a.9 b.36 c.3a d.12a2

The answer is

C. 3a

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem bothers on how well we understand our factorization

Step one

Now faced with the expression

12a and 9a²?

If we divide both 12 and 9 by 2,

12/2= 6

9/2=4.5

We see that 2 is not a common factor

Step two

If we decide to divide both numbers by 3

12/3=4

9/3=3

We now see that 3 is a common factor that divides well without a remmender

Step three

So let us try it with the Algeria expression

12a/3a=4

9a²/3a=3a

Hence the common factor is 3a

step-by-step explanation:

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
