Hey there!
36y - 12
FIRST LOOK AT THE GCF (Greatest Common Factor)
36y: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, and y
12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12
GCF: 12
So, 12 would most likely be number before you make your parentheses
12(?y - 1)
The numbers in your original equation both share 3 & -1
So, therefore the factor form of your equation should be: 12(3y - 1)
Answer: 12(3y - 1)
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

1 is a whole and 1/2 is just a fraction
(-14w) - (-3) - (-5w) equals
-9w + 3
or if what you're saying is
-14w - 3 - 5w it equals
-19w - 3
or if what youre saying is
(-14w - 3) - 5w it equals
-19w - 3
12 *12 = 144
Therefore 12^2 = 144
