fan and medal #PleaseeeHelp!!! @ganeshie8 pleas help me. An expression is shown below: 3x3y + 12xy − 9x2y − 36y Part A: Rewrite the expression so that the GCF is factored completely. Show the steps of your work. (4 points) Part B: Rewrite the expression completely factored. Show the steps of your work. (6 points)
I got you
So do you know what the GCF is?
@EmilyF03
greatest common factor, I think
And how do you find?
For this question the GCF is 3, do you know why? I am sorry I have to ask questions like this. I want you to think on your own, not just give you the answer.
@EmilyF03 you need to participate...
Gtg sorry
sorry my comp is so slow... can with continue please @twistnflip
are there options? multiple choice?
no there isn't multiple choices
First combine like terms. What are the like terms? List the like terms
Please do not message me. It is ok if you forgot how to find like terms
sorry
Like terms are terms that are a like. For instance, 3z3y + 4z6y are like terms. 4a5b + 7b are not like terms. What are the like terms?

if I combine these like terms 3z3y + 4z6y I would get 3z3y + 4z6y = 7z9y
so what I need to do now to find the answer for part a? or I need to cobine like terms now?
@nixy
\[3y \left( x^3-3x^2+4x-12 \right)\] \[=3y \left\{ x^2\left( x-3 \right)+4\left( x-3 \right) \right\}\] \[=3y \left( x-3 \right)\left( x^2+4 \right)\]
its ht the answer for pat A? @surjithayer
i don't know the answer GCF=3y
what about first line for A?
i have not rewritten first step of rearranging only thing is i have taken GCF out
