Question

Factorise fully 72-2y°

Answer 1

-2(-36+y)

Step by step explained:

72-2y

First find the common factor. Here the common factor is (-2)

Now take out minus 2 from each term

That is,

72 = -2(-36)

-2y = -2(y)

So,

72-2y

= -2(-36) -2(y)

= -2(36+ y)

Hence factorised..

Answer 2

`-2\left(y-36\right)`

Explanation:

`72-2y`

`-2(-36)-2(y)`

`-2\left(y-36\right)`
