Question

Completely Factor the expression -18 P - 9​

Answer 1

This question is off-topic, but I'm answering it assuming you meant to categorize as maths.

Answer:

$-9(2P+1)$ or $-3^2(2P+1)$

Explanation:

Factoring

It consists of converting an algebraic expression, usually as a polynomial into two or more factored terms.

We must find the greatest possible common factor and use it to modify the original expression.

The given expression is

$-18P-9$

It's evident that both terms have a numeric common factor of -9. Let's factor by -9. We must divide each term by -9 to get:

$-9(2P+1)$

We can even factor further by writing

$-3^2(2P+1)$
