Step-by-step solution

We start with the expression 9a+8a 9a+8a .

First, we notice that both terms share a common factor of a a .

So, we factor outa a from each term:

9a=a⋅9 9a=a\cdot9 and 8a=a⋅8 8a = a\cdot 8 .

This allows us to rewrite the expression as a(9+8) a(9+8) .

Thus, the factored form is a(9+8) a\left(9+8\right) .
