Question

How would I factor this ._>

Answer 1

-3x - 3y - 3z

Answer 2

What's the same in each term? :)

Answer 3

3 is same :3

Answer 4

Yes, but there is a minus in front of each 3, so what would the common number really be?

Answer 5

Oh -3?

Answer 6

Right, so we can factor that -3 out by diving each term by -3

Answer 7

And putting the -3 on the outside of parenthesis. ^.^

-3('in here go the other terms after you divided them by -3')

CX

Answer 8

K so it would look like this ? -3(x-y-z)

Answer 9

Don't forget you're dividing out the negatives too! A negative divided by a negative becomes a positive
So -3x / -3 = +x

Answer 10

Almost, just one little thing you forgot to do when dividing
