Answer:

6(4 - 3y)

Explanation:

Factor the expression 24−18y

The first thing to check is the common factor to be able to factorize the expression. Take for instance where we have

xa - xb = x ( a - b)

The common factor is x which is outside the bracket

24−18y

The greatest common factor between 24 and 18 is 6.

Therefore,

24−18y = 6(4 - 3y)

24−18y = 6(4) - 6(3y)
