Question

Find the GCF and then factor

-27y^2 + 18y

Answer 1

First, find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of -27y^2 and 18y. The GCF of -27y^2 and 18y is 9y because it is the largest number that divides both terms evenly.

Now, factor out the GCF 9y from both terms:

9y(-3y + 2)

So the factored form of -27y^2 + 18y is 9y(-3y + 2).
