  1. A community center is planning a mural project that requires rectangular panels. The total area needed for the mural can be expressed as 42x + 56 square feet, where x represents the length of each panel in feet. The project manager needs to factor this expression to determine the standard width that will work for all panels. What is the factored form of the expression 42x + 56 using the greatest common factor?
  2. A rectangular garden is being designed with length (8x + 12) feet and width (6x + 9) feet. The landscape architect needs to factor both expressions to determine the greatest common side length for square paving stones that will fit evenly along both dimensions.
