<h3>Factor –3y – 18 is: -3(y + 6)</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that we have to factor -3y - 18
Use the distributive property,
a(b + c) = ab + bc
From given,
-3y - 18
Factor out the greatest common factor of 3 and 18
The factors of 3 are: 1, 3
The factors of 18 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
Then the greatest common factor is 3
Factot out 3 from given expression
-3y - 18 = 3( - y - 6)
Or else we can rewrite as,
-3y - 18 = -3(y + 6)
Thus the given expression is factored

Answer:
7x+21 = 7x + 21
Step-by-step explanation:
7(x+3)=6-(-7x - 15)
L.H.S
=7(x+3)
=7x+21 (multiply 7 by (x+3))
R.H.S:
=6-(-7x - 15)
= 6+7x+15 (multiply the -ive sign in the bracket)
= 7x + 21 ( adding 15 and 6)
now compare the two sides
7x+21 = 7x + 21 hence we prove that L.H.S= R.H.S
16 = 48/3
48 divided by 2 = 24
