Question

Factorize -6m plus 9

Answer 1

3(-2m+3)

Explanation:

Answer 2

`3(-2m + 3)`

Explanation:

Given

`-6m + 9`

Required

Factorize

Expression:
`-6m + 9`

Start by expressing the expression as a sum of products.

`-6m = 3 * -2m` and

`9 = 3 * 3`

So;

`3 * -2m + 3 * 3`

Notice that constant 3 is common in both terms.

This can then be factorizes as:

`3(-2m + 3)`

Hence:

`-6m + 9 = 3(-2m + 3)`
