b.   Expand the expression below using a rectangular array.
$${\frac{1}{3}(9x-12y-18)}$$
Problem 2
a.   What could be the missing dimensions of the rectangular array? Which set of dimensions uses the greatest common factor of the two terms?
[IMG]
b.   Factor the expression below using a rectangular array. Use the greatest common factor as the representation of the width.
$${24d-8e+6}$$
Problem 3
The table below includes expressions that are written in expanded form and in factored form. Complete the table. Use rectangular arrays as needed.
