To factor the expression -42k-54, we look for common factors in both terms.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To factor the expression -42k - 54, you can start by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms -42k and -54.

The GCF of 42 and 54 is 6. Since both terms are negative, we can factor out -6 as the GCF.

So, the factored form of -42k - 54 would be:
-6(7k + 9)

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To factor the expression -42k - 54, we need to find the common factors of the two terms and take them out. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of the two terms. In this case, the GCF of -42k and -54 is 6.

Step 2: Divide each term by the GCF.
-42k ÷ 6 = -7k
-54 ÷ 6 = -9

Step 3: Rewrite the expression using the GCF factored out:
-42k - 54 = 6(-7k - 9)

Therefore, the factored form of -42k - 54 is 6(-7k - 9).
