The GCF of the three terms (9a, -18b and 21c) is 3
Rewrite each of the terms so 3 is a factor
9a = 3*3a
-18b = -3*6b
21c = 3*7c
So we can say...
9a - 18b + 21c = 3*3a - 3*6b + 3*7c
9a - 18b + 21c = 3(3a - 6b + 7c)
Answer: 3(3a - 6b + 7c)
If you distribute outer 3 to each of the inner terms and multiply, you'll get the original expression again.

V = 500(1.05)2t + 600(0.95)t
Step-by-step explanation:
42=6x7 then 60=6 x 10 so the least number cover the square should be 6x7x10, that is 420
Combine like terms : 8y = 16
Divide by 8 on both sides : y = 2
