3y(2 - 9x + 12y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The GCF of 6, 3, 24, and 12 is 3:

so 3(2y - xy - 8xy + 12)

= 3(2y - 9xy + 12)

Also y is also common so:

= 3y(2 - 9x + 12y)

Part B:

3y(2 - 9x + 12y)

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
