@Hero ? :(

Simplifying 3x(3y + -2) + -7xy + -2x(2y + -2) Reorder the terms: 3x(-2 + 3y) + -7xy + -2x(2y + -2) (-2 * 3x + 3y * 3x) + -7xy + -2x(2y + -2) (-6x + 9xy) + -7xy + -2x(2y + -2) Reorder the terms: -6x + 9xy + -7xy + -2x(-2 + 2y) -6x + 9xy + -7xy + (-2 * -2x + 2y * -2x) -6x + 9xy + -7xy + (4x + -4xy) Reorder the terms: -6x + 4x + 9xy + -7xy + -4xy Combine like terms: -6x + 4x = -2x -2x + 9xy + -7xy + -4xy Combine like terms: 9xy + -7xy = 2xy -2x + 2xy + -4xy Combine like terms: 2xy + -4xy = -2xy -2x + -2xy Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '-2x'. -2x(1 + y) Final result: -2x(1 + y)

To explain: I went of this website called the expression calculator that will tell you how to figure out here is the website!! http://www.algebrahelp.com/calculators/expression/factoring/calc.do;jsessionid=605800E5D219FD4E87DC35CAE0990C49?expression=3x%283y-2%29-7xy-2x%282y-2%29 I put in your equation and this is what I got it is very helpful! and your welcome

Simplifying 3x3 + -3x2 + -36x Reorder the terms: -36x + -3x2 + 3x3 Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '3x'. 3x(-12 + -1x + x2) Factor a trinomial. 3x((-3 + -1x)(4 + -1x)) Final result: 3x(-3 + -1x)(4 + -1x)
