Hey there! :)

-11j - 33k

To factor something is to simply take out anything that these two numerals have in common. Ask yourself, what goes into both -11j & -33k?

-11 goes into both of these numerals, so simply divide -11j & -33k with -11j.

-11j ÷ -11 = j

-33k ÷ -11 = 3k

So, our factored answer should look like this :

-11(j + 3k)

Hope I helped!

Answer:

-11(j+3k)

Explanation:

-11j-33k

We can factor out a negative 11 from each term

-11j = -11 *j

-33k = -11 *3k

-11j -33k = -11(j+3k)
