Answer: (gcf)=3

Step-by-step explanation: 15x+18y+3z+21=0/-21

3(5x +6y+ z) = 0 -21

3(5x +6y+z)= -21(/3)

5x+6y+z= -7

30x+ 30y +z =-7/x30

30(x+y)+z= -210(/30)

x+y+z= 70

so now

x=0

y=0

z=70

..................

x=1

y=1

z=68

...............

x=2

y=2

z=66

................

x=3

y=3

z=63

.....................

x=4

y=4

z=62

......................

x=5

y=5

z=60

...................

etc u can also consider the negative values so as a conclusion 3 is the greatest common factor :)
