Question

What is the factored form of -3x-18

Answer 1

`-3 * (x - 6)`

Explanation:

Each term is divisible by -3, so we can "pull out" a -3. We do this by dividing each term by -3.

Because of the distributive property, multiplying -3 by the divided expression in parenthesis results in the original expression.

Answer 2

The answer is -3(x + 6)
