Question

How do you find the product of `9m-9p`?

Answer 1

There is no product.
Factoring yields: `9(m-p)`

Explanation:

Given: `9m - 9p`

Find the product means find the answer to a multiplication between two numbers. The expression given is not a multiplication, it is a subtraction. Since `m` and `p` are different, they can not be subtracted. The only thing that can be done is factoring.

Factoring yields: `9(m-p)`
