Answer:
![9c^3 - 12c^2 - 18c - 24= [3c^2 - 6][3c - 4]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=9c%5E3%20-%2012c%5E2%20-%2018c%20-%2024%3D%20%5B3c%5E2%20-%206%5D%5B3c%20-%204%5D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Required
Factor
Group into 2
![[9c^3 - 12c^2] - [18c + 24]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B9c%5E3%20-%2012c%5E2%5D%20-%20%5B18c%20%2B%2024%5D)
Factorize each group
![3c^2[3c - 4] - 6[3c - 4]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3c%5E2%5B3c%20-%204%5D%20-%206%5B3c%20-%204%5D)
Factor out 3c - 4
![[3c^2 - 6][3c - 4]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B3c%5E2%20-%206%5D%5B3c%20-%204%5D)
Hence:
![9c^3 - 12c^2 - 18c - 24= [3c^2 - 6][3c - 4]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=9c%5E3%20-%2012c%5E2%20-%2018c%20-%2024%3D%20%5B3c%5E2%20-%206%5D%5B3c%20-%204%5D)
The greatest common factor: 20x^6y 40x^4y^2 10x^5y^5 is 10x^4y.
20x^6y = 10x^4y*2x^2
40x^4y^2 = 10x^4y*4y
10x^5y^5 = 10x^4y*y^4
So when this sign < has a line under the greater sign so this mean greater or equal
same with this
12>= x so this mean 12 greater or equal x but than there is a line under the greater sign so this mean equalitie sure too
hope this will help you
