Factor Completely: -3x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x-9

divide the equation by -1 so that the -1's are taken from -3x and -9. so the -1 goes on the outside of 3x+9

-1(3x+9)

then divide the equation by 3 since 3x and 9 is divisible by 3.

(-1)(3)(3/3x+9/3)

-3(x+3)

Now we can expand again to check the problem

-3 times x=-3x

-3 times 3=-9

and add

-3x-9

Hope that helps :)

u = -(6/7)w

step-by-step explanation:

place all values with 'u' on one side of the equation.

4u + 8w = - 3u + 2w

4u + 3u = 2w - 8w

further simplify the equation by solving the addition and subtraction.

7u = - 6w

make 'u' the independent variable by placing its co-efficient on the right-hand side.

u = - (6/7)w
